He reportedly met with the chief executive of the Pakistani Cricket Agency Wasim Khan earlier this year, which led to speculation of returns before the Twenty20 World Cup in October.
“No doubt he is a good Cricketer, but if he doesn’t want to go back and impress the selection by playing cricket, it will be difficult,” Younis told reporters through video conferencing from England on Monday.
“This is Pakistani cricket, it’s not yours or my cricket (team), you have to do the right thing to play for your country.
This is not a franchise cricket and someone must remember it.” Younis said he was not aware of the meeting between Khan and Amir.
“I honestly don’t know about this (meeting),” he said.
“He (Khan) is the head of the cricket and he has the right to meet whoever he wants to see; he goes there in his personal capacity and we don’t know about it.” Amir plays for Karachi Kings at PSL, but can only take five goals in 11 matches an average of 69.80.
Karachi was eliminated after losing their two playoffs.
Amir took 259 numbers across 36 tests, 61 internationally one day and 50 T20s.
