RAWALPINDI: Pakistan speed star Shoaib Akhter has once again shown confidence in tainted fast bowler Mohammad Amir ans has stated that he can win upcoming World Twenty20 for Pakistan.
“Pakistan are the most dangerous side if they play three spinners and two fast bowlers and get Amir back in the side,” the 40-year-old said in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
“What more important thing is there than for Pakistan to win the World Cup? I’m sure Amir can run in and win the World Cup,” he added.
Amir, who completed his five-year ban in September this year, has been in red hot form ever since his return to the domestic circuit, and has already picked up nine wickets in six matches in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
Further, Akhtar said if he was in Amir’s place he would be ‘scared.’ “If I was in his place, and God forbid I shouldn’t be, I would have been so scared.”
“But let’s help the child and let’s guide him once again and tell him what the right thing is to do,” he urged.
Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram, Imran Khan along with Shoaib Akhtar believe otherwise, and have urged players to forgive the tainted trio who have already served their punishment. However, Mohammad Hafeez has said he would feel uncomfortable sharing a dressing room with Amir.
