Top 11 Cricketers who announced comeback after retirement

1. Mohammad Amir

Ace pace bowler of Pakistan, Mohammad Amir, retired from international cricket in 2020, citing his being "mentally tortured" as one of the main factors behind his resignation from the game. 

However, a day post Imad Wasim reversed his call on retirement to make himself available for the 20-over carnival, Amir followed suit. Amir claimed that after consulting with his family and well-wishers, he wanted to make his way back to serve the nation at the World Cup.

Although Amir didn't perform to the standard at which Imad played in the ninth instalment of the tournament, Amir was a genuine alternative which the Pakistan Cricket Board were obliged to utilize due to Shaheen Afridi not being at full tilt post his return from a finger injury, Naseem Shah only just returning from a protracted layoff back then, as well as Harif Rauf being injured due to dislocating his shoulder courtesy an inopportune dive while completing a catch during a PSL encounter.
