Pakistan left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Amir has revealed that he spent more money than he earned when he came out of retirement to represent his country in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Amir noted that he travelled with his trainer and had to bear all the costs associated with it.
That said, he did very well with the ball in the T20 World Cup as he claimed seven wickets in four matches at an average of 10.28 and an economy rate of 4.50.
