Amir: Pak players scared of asking for break, communication gap with team management

The Hindu  

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir says players of the national team are scared of asking for a break even when they feel exhausted as they apprehend being dropped from the side altogether due to a “communication gap” with the team management. Amir, who has retired from Test cricket to prolong his career in the shorter formats, said communication and understanding need to be better between players and the management. “The problem is that if a player musters the courage to say in Pakistan cricket that he wants to rest, he is dropped, so players are now scared of speaking about it with the management,” he told the News One channel. “If a player wants to take a break, he should be happy to speak about it with the management and they should understand his point of view and give him a rest instead of dropping him from the team.” Lack of common sense Dropped from the ongoing tour of New Zealand, Amir reiterated that his decision to retire from Test cricket last year was turned into an unnecessary controversy.
