- Mohammad Amir aims to complete "unfinished work".
- Amir is ready to contribute to Pakistan's success.
- Amir feels lucky to still be playing and is determined to win.
Amir is expected to be included in Pakistan’s squad for the World Cup, which kicks off on June 1.
It’s worth noting that Amir, who recently returned to the Pakistan team after a four-year hiatus, was a member of the victorious T20 World Cup team in 2009 in England.
“It’s a great feeling to be playing for Pakistan again,” Amir shared with AFP.
"I want to complete the unfinished work and, for me, the short-term goal is to win the World Cup.
"The Pakistan Cricket Board and the team management have shown trust in me so I have to fulfil that trust.”
Amir, who participated in the recently concluded T20I series against New Zealand on home ground, is thrilled to be representing Pakistan once more.
"I have come back after four years and when you play for your country the feeling cannot be described,” he expressed.
"To be honest I felt fitter than in 2019 and until you are fit you cannot express yourself, so I am ready to do better and better.”
Amir also reminisced about winning the 2009 T20 World Cup, where he claimed six wickets in seven matches.
“The 2009 Twenty20 World Cup winning memories are special and excite me to this day,” he recalled.
"I was selected for the first time and then became part of a champion team.
"When I landed (back) at Rawalpindi airport to go to my village there were so many cars and they were showering flowers on me.
“I am lucky that I am still playing. When I came, I was the youngest in the team, so here I am having another chance to win the World Cup and that is the target for me and my team.”
