Come And Play Asia Cup 2022: Mohammad Amir Trending On Social Media After Shaheen Afridi Ruled Out From Asia Cup 2022
Mohammad Amir left confused after seeing his name trend on Twitter?
Former Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Amir was astonished to see himself trending on Twitter Saturday.
Team Pakistan and their ardent fans were handed a heavy blow on Saturday, as a knee injury ruled their ace fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi out of the imminent Asia Cup 2022.
It is learnt that Afridi failed to recover from the right knee ligament injury which he had sustained during the first Test of Pakistan’s tour of Sri Lanka the previous month.

The Pakistan fans, while expressing their disappointment after Shaheen Shah Afridi’s ouster from the national team for T20 Asia Cup 2022, started trending another experienced left-arm pacer – Mohammad Amir, across the social media platforms.

The reason might well have to to with the fact that be it Afridi or Amir, the Indian batting line-up has struggled to get them away, as was the case during Pakistan’s rare, yet memorable wins during the 2017 Champions Trophy final, and the 2021 T20 World Cup opening match against the arch-rivals.

In 2020, Amir took retirement from international cricket citing differences with the then Pakistan team’s head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis. The pacer alleged the coaches of favoritism.
However, in June last year, the 30-year-old had yet again announced that he was open to come out of retirement provided his concerns are addressed and attended to.
Currently Amir is representing Rawalakot Hawks in Kashmir Premier League (KPL) season 2. He has conceded 96 runs in three matches so far and took just two wickets.
Please ajawo
