In reply, a lot of people asked him to take his retirement back and join the Pakistan team in absence of Shaheen.

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.

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.
