Amir had hoped to play for Omar Associates against the Army outfit in a non-first class tournament in Rawalpindi but the three-day match was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
“It is so disappointing to not be able to see a single ball bowled because I had waited so long for this moment to finally bowl again in competitive cricket,” Amir told Reuters.
The 22-year-old, who played 14 tests before being banned from the sport for spot fixing a 2010 test match against England with team mates Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif, was allowed by the International Cricket Council to play domestic cricket before his five-year ban ends in September.
“I just take it as God’s will that I couldn’t play this match. But I am so eager to get back on the cricket field. I am just grateful I have got a second life after the ban,” Amir added.
