Mohammad Amir hits back at Afridi’s critical comments, said What harm have I caused Babar?

Veteran pacer Mohammad Amir rubbished Ex-PAK skipper Shahid Afridi’s comments on him over the incident involving Babar Azam during a PSL match. During a game between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi earlier this year.

Afridi had claimed that he had warned Amir –

Amir had thrown a ball towards his Ex-teammate Babar in frustration following a boundary. A few months back, Afridi had claimed that he had warned Amir for his on-field conduct with Babar, following which the pacer had apologized to him for his behaviour.

Afridi had said – “If you want to play for Pakistan, you have to play alongside Babar only. Will you be able to look at him in the eye? Can you play under his captaincy? Focus on your performance, control your aggression, and go back home peacefully.”

However, during a recent interview, Amir confirmed that while he did receive a message from Afridi, but not regarding the incident between him and Babar.

Mohammad Amir was quoted as sayinng by Cricket Pakistan –

“I received his message but this wasn’t it. He only praised my bowling and enquired about my injury. But the things like ‘how will you face Babar’… this wasn’t in his texts at all.”

Mohammad Amir added – “What harm have I caused Babar? or vice-versa? I found it very weird. I don’t know what he was thinking when he said that. I guess he speaks a little quickly so he might have mistakenly said that.”
