When I started playing international cricket there were no matches being played in Pakistan and then of course I took retirement from Test cricket. But, despite that, I am proud that I have represented Pakistan in Test cricket not once or twice, but thirty-six times,\u201d said Amir.<br \/>\n\u201cIf luck had favoured me such that whilst I was playing international cricket, Pakistan had played home series then that would have been a great honour and very special for me. But the most important thing for me is that I have represented my country in Test cricket albeit away from Pakistan ,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nHe also brushed aside the notion that he had any plans about taking back his retirement from international cricket at the moment.<br \/>\n\u201cI have always respected everyone\u2019s opinions and thoughts. There was nothing selfish about the decision and at the end of the day there are certain things that you have to think long and hard about before you make an important choice. At the moment there is no chance of my making a comeback to international cricket, but if things get better then who knows maybe you will see me playing for Pakistan once again in future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Pakistan left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir is disappointed that he didn\u2019t get a chance to represent Men in Green at home in Test cricket.
