Mohammad Amir takes to domestic cricket to rejuvenate his bowling momentum

Amir has been going through a terrible run of form for quite a while now and not even close to a bowler he was before the spot-fixing ban. And the terrible performance in the Asia Cup was the last nail in the coffin for Amir as he has been made to rest for the two-match Test series against Australia, which has been scheduled to be played in Dubai from October 7. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) mentioned that they had taken into consideration the conditions of UAE to come up with this decision. Amir has, for the time being, decided to immerse himself into domestic cricket to rediscover his bowling rhythm. Coach Atiq-uz-Zaman has been pleased with the course of actions.

The workload management, however, is going to be an issue as Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and Quaid-e-Azam One Day Cup will be held simultaneously, with the teams playing a four-day match and one day match in one go, before they receive a two-day rest.
