Mohammad Amir likely to cut down on Tests to extend international career

India TV News  

With an aim to extend his international career, Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir is thinking over the prospect of cutting down on the number of Test matches he plays. Amir has been continuously playing for Pakistan in all formats of the game, ever since making a return from his five-year ban for his alleged involvement in various offences of corrupt behaviour relating to the Lord's Test between England and Pakistan in August 2010 by the independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal in February 2011. Amir has played a total of 16 Tests and bagged 44 wickets since making a return to international cricket, however, it seems that the non-stop involvement in all formats might have burdened him. I can't roll back that lost time but I can manage my workload to extend my career as much as I can," Amir said.
