Mohammad Amir saga: From fixing scandal to multiple retirements

Mohammad Amir, a Pakistani cricketer, has had a tumultuous career marked by a match-fixing scandal and multiple retirements. Initially, Amir was a prodigious talent in cricket, making his debut at 17. However, his career took a drastic turn when he was implicated in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal during a Test match against England, leading to a five-year ban from cricket and a jail sentence. After serving his ban, Amir made a comeback in 2016, contributing significantly to Pakistan's victory in the ICC Champions Trophy. Despite his return, his career was again disrupted by a self-imposed retirement from international cricket in 2020, citing mental torture. However, he reversed this decision in 2024, announcing his return to international cricket, driven by a desire to play for Pakistan again and to make amends for his past mistakes. His journey reflects a narrative of redemption, resilience, and the complexities of professional sports ethics.
