Mohammad Aamir’s selection for the limited-overs tour of New Zealand definitely spiked a lot of controversies recently. The tainted pacer, who has been at the middle of a murky controversy admitted that he was physically as well as mentally fit in order to mark his return to international cricket. Aamir also received backing from T20I skipper Shahid Afridi.
“If I get a chance to play in New Zealand it will not be easy bowling to this approach but mentally I am prepared for a hard comeback,” Aamir said to reporters. “One thing is clear to me I will have to perform really well to win back the confidence of my fans. I am sure they are behind me and I will not let them down,” he admitted.
The talented pacer also said that he was ready to face taunts and demoralizing comments from his critics in the days to come. “I feel bad because of their (critics) strong comments, but it is their opinion the best I can do is repay the faith and support those who feel I should get another chance to play again for Pakistan have shown in me,” he said.
“I know cricket especially ODIs and T20s have undergone changes and the attitude of batsmen is very different now. So it is going to be a big challenge getting back into this mould. But the good thing is that I have followed cricket and other teams closely in the last one year,” Aamir added.
