Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not happy with left-arm pacer Muhammad Amir, after he appeared on a television show prior to the national team’s departure for England, Press Trust of India reported on Thursday.
According to a source in PCB, the board has taken the matter seriously since Amir failed to inform them prior to appearing on the show.
“This has happened just few days after top board officials, including chairman Shaharyar Khan and Najam Sethi, met with Amir in Lahore and briefed him on what was expected of him in England,” the source said.

“He was also told to improve his attitude and not antagonise his teammates,” the source added.
