By Saurabh Sharma March 16, 2020 • 22:10 PM View: 1144

Karachi, March 16: Fatigue had a role to play in Mohammad Amir's decision to retire from Test cricket, the Pakistan fast bowler said. Amir had retired from the longest form of the game in July 2019 at the age of 27, having taken 119 wickets at an average of 30.47 in 36 Tests.

"Everyone has their opinion. I know my body the best. I felt my body was getting overloaded. I couldn't manage. To prolong my career, I had to take the decision, which was supported by my family. I am feeling much better and the results are visible," Amir told The National.
