Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Amir in his reaction to the news of New Zealand cancelling the most awaited One Day International (ODI) series against Pakistan said this act will “bite you [New Zealand] in future”.

Taking to his official Twitter handle, the star cricketer wrote: “[Hi New Zealand] might we as a Pakistani will forgive [you] because we are a loving nation but this act will bite [you] in future for sure.”

Amir is not the only cricketer who lashed out at the New Zealand Cricket for cancelling the Pakistan cricket tour despite security assurances from Pakistan’s side.
