19 October, 2024

While taking to X, the left-arm fast-bowler expressed anger in response to the negative comments against his T20I teammate Babar.

Babar, after failing to score big in his last 18 Test innings, was rested for the second Test against England in Multan following the recommendation of the newly appointed selection committee.

The established right-handed batter struggled to score big in both innings of the first Test at same venue.

Babar, who missed second Test, congratulated Shan Masood XI on the victory.

"Well done, team! Fantastic win. Proud of the effort and spirit,” he posted with a picture featuring his fellow players celebrating.

Meanwhile, Amir, 32, gave credit to "better planning" that led to victory on his home ground.

The third Test between Pakistan and England is scheduled to take place in Rawalpindi from October 24 to 28.
