In a follow-up tweet, Amir expressed his appreciation and said, “All misunderstandings have been cleared by Deputy Commissioner Multan himself. I sincerely appreciate it and wish you all the best as you embark on your new journey.” Former cricketer Mohammad Amir has called on newly elected Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to take action over the incident of alleged misbehavior against family members during the ninth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

In a tweet posted on social networking site X (Twitter), Quetta Gladiators bowler Muhammad Amir accused the deputy commissioner of Multan of mistreating his family during the match. Amir alleged that the official arrogantly claimed to be the owner of the land and wrongfully evicted them during the event, terming such abuse of power in uniform intolerable. Amir directly X-marked Maryam Nawaz and urged her to take note of the incident.
The incident took place during a PSL match on February 26 when the families of Mohammad Amir, Umar Amin and Moin Khan were allegedly removed from the players’ box by district administration officials. Quetta Gladiators players and management strongly condemned the incident and demanded action from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) against such behaviour. Amir, who is representing Quetta Gladiators this season, stressed the need for responsibility and respect for players’ families during matches. He previously played for Karachi Kings for eight seasons before joining Quetta Gladiators.
