Bangla Tigers also retained Mohammed Amir for the upcoming season. Amir was spotted as a prospect by Wasim Akram in 2007 and he remarked that Amir was a much cleverer bowler than he was at the age of 18. His first major achievement was during Pakistan’s U-19 tour to England where he picked up eight wickets at an average of 16.37.
Amir began as the prodigious talent who as a 17-year-old turned heads when he took 55 wickets for National Bank of Pakistan in his debut season and impressed the selector with his whippy pace and swing. Consequently Amir was fast-tracked into Pakistan’s 2009 T20 World Cup side, where he made his debut for Pakistan in a T20I against England. He would go on to deliver a crucial burst in the final against Sri Lanka as Pakistan claimed the title. His pace and accuracy were key to the Pakistan team’s fortunes as they won the T20 World Cup in 2009.
The inswinging curlers, the slanting away swinger, the deadly Yorker are a few of the weapons in his repertoire that can befuddle any batting line up.
He possessed a solid technique with the bat lower down the order. Mohammad Amir holds an outstanding batting record of 2nd highest partnership in 10th Wicket with Saeed AJmal against New Zealand.
He will act as the strike bowler of Bangla Tigers for the upcoming season.
