Pakistan left-arm seamer Mohammad Amir has claimed that he was dropped for the upcoming Twenty20 series against Bangladesh since he retired from Test cricket.
Amir retired from Test cricket at the age of 27 in July last year.
He has since been heavily criticised for his decision, including by head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq, and bowling coach Waqar Younis.
