Summary Amir said that he is happy to resume his Test cricket career.
(Web Desk) – Fast bowler Mohammad Amir said that it is ‘a dream come true’ to be playing in Lord’s again as he feared never playing cricket again after spot-fixing ban, reported Sky News.
Mohammad Amir while exclusively talking to Sky Sports said that he is happy on returning to Test cricket on the same ground where he last played in 2010.
“Life was very tough and there were times I thought I might not be able to play again,” said Amir.
Pakistani seamer said he couldn’t touch a ball for three years.
"It was very depressing for me, because as a professional, it’s very difficult when you can’t use the facilities, play cricket, you can’t even touch the ball, so what are you going to do then?
"They are terrible memories, but now they are helping me because I’ve learned a lot and I want to be a better human being, and a better behaved cricketer.
"I am still learning. Nobody can be Mr Perfect. But the past is the past and I’m looking forward now. I want to be the best cricketer I can be for my country. If I work hard, the main aim for me is to be the world’s best bowler.
"It’s very special for me to be representing my country again and at the same place which it ended; same team, same crowd. I think for me it’s a miracle, but dreams come true."
Amir was jailed over spot-fixing charges during which, he admitted he contemplated giving up the game, but he is now keen to look forward.
