The ODI World Cup 2023, which will begin on October 5 in India, will feature teams from around the world. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) recently released their lineup.

He stressed that Amir had resigned from international cricket as of this point and recognized Amir’s previous services to Pakistani cricket. Inzamam noted that the left-arm pacer will need to play first-class cricket and put up solid performances in order to be given consideration for a comeback.

“Amir was a fantastic cricket player. He retired, so to speak. He must play first-class cricket and perform there if he intends to represent Pakistan. He will unquestionably be taken into consideration if he succeeds. No player has the selection door closed to them.

Inzamam continued, “The same is true for Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shan Masood, and Imad Wasim.
Amir announced his retirement from international cricket in 2020, however he has continued to play in league matches. He is now playing for the Jamaica Tallawahs in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2023, where he has demonstrated his skill by taking the third-most wickets with 15 victims in 9 games, placing him third overall.
