Amir, who took 17 wickets at the recent World Cup, will continue to play one-day and Twenty20 international cricket.
He returned to Test cricket in 2016 after a five-year ban for spot-fixing.
"It has been an honour to represent Pakistan in the pinnacle and traditional format of the game but I have decided to move away from the longer version so I can concentrate on white-ball cricket," he said.
"Playing for Pakistan remains my ultimate desire and objective, and I will try my best to be in the best physical shape to contribute in the team's upcoming challenges, including next year's T20 World Cup.Amir played 36 Tests, taking 119 wickets at an average of 30.47, with a best of 6-44 against West Indies in Kingston in 2017.
