^^^^ The real reason is the inability of the PCB to pay decent salary to members of the national team. And when the players try to earn by participating in various franchise T20 leagues, the PCB creates obstacles for them. This in turn makes the player frustrated and ultimately it results in public spats between the players and the management. Anyway, with the success of the PSL, I hope that now the PCB will be able to pay good salary to the contracted players.
Muhammad Amir was nothing if he was not in the Pakistan National team. Muhammad Amir is a hero only because of Pakistan. If the board cannot pay the same as league, this does not mean that you quit the national team.
I know there are many players who prefer to play for the national team if the teams need them and step away from leagues, even though leagues pay more.

The ongoing circus at PCB board needs to stop. Literally PCB destroying another career of players at incredible speed, such a great left handed bowlers he is. It's unfortunate he decided to retire from International Cricket, PCB must address his concern immediately.
A player should give priority on patriotism rather than money. Let him go, we don't need players like him to be in our national team.
