How many times we all have heard it? Pakistan has got immense talent, potential and vibrant youth. Every other political party talks about it, brags about it and hopes to nourish it - but all in vein.

Hardly anybody has ever thought about the "wasted talent", mostly wheeling their hearts out on roads. Channelizing this raw talent in some force requires a planned effort, which is hard to imagine in near future.

There are two types of talent, first are those who never get a chance to showcase it at any platform; the second type get a chance but rarely find an environment to polish it, mostly because of horrible bosses who keep snubbing them. These bosses are not individuals, but a product of inefficient and insecure organizational environment.

But there are some who are beyond these pressures. They are so honest with their passion that it becomes visible to the world. Muhammad Amir is one of them.

He was still in his teens when he destroyed England's batting lineup single-handedly in their home turf. Commentators overwhelmingly commended the young lad and some even started comparing him with greats like Wasim and Waqar. And then came the curse: that no ball.

All reversed in a glimpse and Amir was all over the papers in king-sized photos, but not for the reasons he deserved. I still remember Michael Holding’s words, "I have got an email that Amir has not balled a no ball in his entire career. It is so sad that a boy age of 18 years with such immense talent got dragged into this, and I am sure he did not approach anybody".

There are two key words here: "entire career" and "dragged". While commenting, Holding was almost in tears because as a fast bowler he might have realized that what a loss this is for the game of cricket. And let me remind you, Holding's testimonial is a strong one.

Almost after five years, the toughest of his life, he is back again and in no time he has made a statement, and a strong one. Almost as if it was scripted, his videos from Bangladesh Premier League went viral on social media.  He claimed wickets of Misbah and Afridi first and then, the cherry on the cake, the wicket of Muhammad Hafeez (who earlier said he won’t share a dressing room with Amir).

Those with the big hearts in cricketing world appreciated Amir and realized how important he could be for Pakistani cricket team. But there exists another club, the club of horrible bosses, those who are harsh about Amir's comeback in team. Well, for sure everybody can hold his or her opinion, but some are so lame that first it makes you laugh and then cry.

Aamir Sohail was an inspiration when I started understanding cricket. That wicket of his in quarterfinals of 96 is still a heartbreaker. But his comments on Amir after BPL are even more disheartening. The summary goes something like this: "Yes, Amir is immensely talented but I think his behavior is still immature if you observe his attitude after taking wickets of his seniors". It's hard to digest that a great like Aamir Sohail is criticizing a still young heroic lad considering what he has been through and that too on showing aggression.

Let me remind you sir, a fast bowler without aggression is a cake without sugar. Wasim, Waqar, Lilly, Bret Lee, you name it, everybody had in them, aggression and passion. But I guess it's not about Amir Sohail, it's about that mentality we hold about as a nation: unforgiving.

Everybody makes a mistake, and it's the essential part of learning. We all know the corruption involved in cricket.  We must not relate this case with false patriotism. Yes, Amir made a mistake, but he has paid well enough for that. Those who will still criticize him will make themselves look cheap.

The good news is that he has been included in recent ongoing camp of Pakistani team, and has also been drafted to play for Karachi Kings in the PSL. We wish and hope that he makes it to Pakistani team pretty soon. Some voices are hard to snub, some souls write their own destiny. I don't know about the future, but for now Amir remains a hero. His story might provide the script for one of the greatest biopics of all time, by the time he hangs up his boots.
