Mohammad Amir’s complete statement

Amir also said that between 2010 and 2015, I was away from cricket, even then I suffered and I got punishment but it continues. I am told that PCB has invested a lot in me. He said that I would like to give credit to two people who invested in me. Former PCB chairman Najam Sethi and Shahid Afridi. Both of them helped me at that time. The rest of the team had said that they would not play with me, I would like to thank these two people.
