Mohammad Amir

Finally, Mohammad Amir, the Pakistani pace bowler, who has been suffering from 5 years ban because of spot-fixing scandal, has been allowed to play domestic cricket by ICC.

Mohammad Amir was found by Pakistani team in 2007 when Wasim Akram was on the talent hunt. The pace bowler soon became one of the trendiest bowlers in the cricket world. He was indulged in spot-fixing on Pakistan’s tour of England which was ending on 2^nd September. When he was on his trials in the court, he hesitated a bit. But he realized what has he done and admitted his mistake. From there onwards, he was cooperating with ACSU and helped them in finding how this whole play was built. Seeing his attitude, on the recent request of PCB, ICC has allowed Mohammad Amir to play domestic cricket.

The fast bowler talked with the media after he was informed about the lifting of the ban. He said that he has been playing the unregistered club cricket (one can also say home cricket) for some time and he will not take too much time in gaining momentum. He will be soon in the team once again to make ways for team Pakistan in order to achieve victory. He is determined to work harder than ever before and is looking to get through to the team as quickly as possible. He also stated that there are certain hurdles which he will have to climb, which he must cross and make his place in the squad. He was willing to do it as soon as possible and serve team Pakistan Once again.

Mohammad Amir was one of the best young talents Pakistan had and he is looking to prove his worth once again. He is left arm pace bowler with the ability to swing the bowl both ways. Thus, he can be extremely dangerous for the batsmen with his seam in first few overs. Furthermore, he was seen using his mental capabilities while bowling to most dangerous batsmen in the history of cricket and he kept his nerves.

PCB wrote letter to the ICC governing board in November saying to have an eye on Amir and review their decision according to new anti-corruption code. According to the new code, player who is meeting few criteria can return to domestic cricket prior to his ban uplifting from international cricket. Let’s see if Mohammad Amir can get a chance again in team Pakistan. He is keen to get a chance and now it is all up to the domestic bodies as well as PCB to make him play and produce for team Pakistan once again.
