PCB is making a mess of this really. Everyone and their long lost cousin knew that PCB always backed an international return for Amir. However it is perfectly understandable for some players in the team to have genuine concerns.
As one former player remarked, last over of the T20 semi final and the opposition requires 8 runs to win, can the captain trust Amir with the last over?
These are genuine and legitimate concerns which PCB should have addressed by getting a mediator and having Amir integrate into the team.
It's going to take time but first and foremost, PCB should have arranged for Amir to meet with the playing 8 of the Oval test and the squad of that series and apologise to them..and then the current squad.

Wouldn't trust Tanvir or Anwar to defend 8 off the final ball tbh.

I will surely trust him. With all that he has undergone, he will be the last person to fix again.

But here's the problem though, he has cast that doubt in our minds. I also don't think that anyone in their right minds would take that risk again but this is why this sort of thing is so devastating. Because it breaks your trust. Say Amir gets hammered in the final over by Stuart Binny, it could be so that Amir gave his best but still Binny managed to hammer him in that specific game..this is the nature of the sport.. Razzaq once hammered McGrath too..but with Amir, it will create doubts.
Now as far as fans are concerned, it's beyond Amir's or PCB's control but its absolutely essential that the team and the captain and the management don't have these doubts, which is why this is what PCB should have focussed on, re integrating him into the team rather than making him do those preachy videos which on one really cares about.
Telling people 'crime doesn't pay' if that worked we would have had utopia by now.

Amir selected for Pakistan A to play England Lions..which means he will be opening the bowling with Junaid Khan 
This is my ideal new ball attack for the Pak test team but yeah.. Gooo Junaid.. I really really hope he gets more wickets and bowls better
I am a big believer of these A tours.. Wish there were some 4 day games as well.

He just got Hafeez out in the BPL and according to Cricinfo, set of on a celebratory run Tahir style. Rivalry brewing imo.
Misbah will retire soon and chaos will return to Pakistan cricket once again.

Man I'm all for Amir getting a second chance, but if he's going to be a **** about it and disrupt the dressing room then he should stay out of the side. People already have apprenhensions about him and havent fully forgiven him, and he's doing literally nothing to make it right.

amir must be seriously thick if he's willing to risk his place in the side over some stupid celebrations. How hard is it to stick to high fives?
