About Mohammad Amir
Mohammad Amir is widely regarded as one of the most talented and skillful left-arm fast bowlers produced by Pakistan in recent times. Born on April 13, 1992, in Sheikhupura, Amir burst onto the international scene as a teenager, making his Test debut in 2009 against Sri Lanka at just 17 years old. His natural swing, pace, and ability to bowl lethal deliveries at critical junctures earned him immediate recognition.
Amir’s early career was marked by promising performances, but his trajectory took a controversial turn in 2010 when he was implicated in a spot-fixing scandal, leading to a five-year ban from international cricket. However, his determination and resilience saw him make a successful comeback in 2016, returning stronger and more focused.
Post-comeback, Amir became a vital part of Pakistan’s pace attack, contributing significantly in all formats. His skill in swinging the ball both ways, combined with his ability to bowl consistently at speeds exceeding 140 km/h, has troubled many top batsmen around the world.
His performance in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy was particularly memorable, where he played a crucial role in Pakistan’s title-winning campaign, including his standout spells in the final against India. Amir’s ability to bowl effective spells in both powerplays and death overs makes him a versatile and valuable bowler.
In Test cricket, Amir has also delivered match-winning performances, notably against Australia and England, using his pace and swing to dominate the opposition.
Off the field, Amir is known for his quiet demeanor and strong work ethic. His journey of redemption and success has made him a beloved figure among cricket fans.
