Pakistan great Shoaib Akhtar has said it is so sad to see how left-arm seamer Mohammad Amir walked away from Pakistan cricket.
Amir announced his retirement from international cricket in December, claiming he was being “mentally tortured” by the PCB and felt that the current team management had deliberately been snubbing him for selection.
Akhtar noted that the whole situation should have been handled better.
