Pakistan’s left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir announced his retirement from Test cricket in his 20s. Amir’s retirement decision has stunned Pakistan cricket as his Test career that began from July 2009 against Sri Lanka, lasted only 10 years. During this span, he played in 36 Test matches and took 119 wickets. His last Test was against South Africa at Johannesburg in January 2019.
Amir was once the youngest Test cricketer to produce great spells. In 2010 in the Oval Test against England, at the age of 18, he became the youngest cricketer to take five wickets in a Test match in England.
