Karachi: Pakistan’s tainted left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir says he does not have a magic wand to start performing up to the expectations immediately after returning to international cricket after nearly six years.


Amir, 22, returned to the Pakistan team early this year after completing a five-year ban for spot fixing last September. He was a part of the team during the recently-concluded tour of England. “Whenever I play, there are a lot of expectations. But the thing is I don’t have a magic wand. This is international cricket and you cannot deliver in a day,” Amir told ‘The News’ newspaper in an interview in England.


“I have come back to this level of cricket after six years. I know I have to work hard. It will take time. Even when I first started playing international cricket it took me a year before everyone started noticing me,” he added. Amir finished with 12 wickets in four Tests and four in four ODIs, including 3-50 in Pakistan’s only win in the final ODI in Cardiff.

“The best thing is that this series (in England) was my biggest pressure tour. It went smoothly and that has added to my confidence,” he said.
