Mohd. Amir Refuses The Central Contract, Calls Out PCB For Behaving Like “Ignorants”

While refusing the central contract and while coming down hard on PCB, the retired pacer said, “If I’m not playing international cricket, then what’s the point of featuring in domestic cricket. They want to control me by offering this contract but that’s not going to happen. PCB should have contacted me before including my name in the domestic contracts list. They [PCB] have well-educated people in their ranks but they still behave like ignorants. PCB should give my central contract to a young cricketer to help him and so that he can support his family.”

“Maybe they [PCB] haven’t accepted the fact that I have retired from international cricket, which is why they take such steps. I’m enjoying playing league cricket and spending the rest of my time with my family.”
