You never know and things can be changed but for now I&#39;m enjoying playing for Gloucestershire. I am playing after three years so it isn&#39;t easy as a fast bowler,&quot; Amir was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I didn&#39;t play any first-class cricket in the last four years but I am getting better after the first game and just trying to help the boys and do well for them. As a bowler it is my duty to bowl well and lead from the front, so that is what I&#39;m trying to do,&quot; added Amir, who played 36 Tests for Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since his international retirement, Amir has focused on being a globetrotter cricketer plying his trade in various T20 leagues around the world, barring the Indian Premier League (IPL).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">IPL 2022 - Scorecard<\/a><\/p><p>Asked about how he got into the red-ball deal with Gloucestershire, Amir explained, &quot;After recovering from the side strain in the PSL, I was training and feeling so good and thought why not give a chance to red-ball cricket. I think I am getting better and on the right path now. I am enjoying red-ball cricket. For now, I&#39;m only here for three games and afterward I&#39;m planning on going to the CPL.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
