WELLINGTON:Left arm fast bowler Mohammad Amir must have prepared himself for worst scenarios when he was eyeing international comeback after facing a five-year ban over spot fixing scandal.
But what happened at Basin Reserve today, has left paceman quite disturbed, said a team official.
As Amir returned to his fielding position on the boundary, an individual from the same section of the stands began waving currency notes.
Observing the situation from a distance, Pakistan’s senior players and former captain Mohammad Hafeez – who had been among the ones most vocal against Amir’s return into the squad – stepped in to the young fast bowler’s rescue.
Hafeez and the other players reported it to the Pakistan team’s security in-charge and the ground staff was requested to intervene. The Basin Reserve’s security proceeded to the stand and issued a sound warning to that individual.
After the match ended, sources said that the person in question was told to ‘behave’ or face ejection from the stadium.
