The Pace King’s Career Journey
Mohammad Amir, 32, has had a rollercoaster career in international cricket. He made his international debut for Pakistan in 2009 as a teenager and quickly established himself as a promising talent. His career faced a major setback when he was banned for five years due to his involvement in a spot-fixing scandal in 2010.
However, Amir made a remarkable comeback to international cricket in 2016 and has since been a formidable force in various T20 leagues around the world. In December 2020, he announced his retirement from international cricket, citing differences with the management, but continues to showcase his skills in franchise cricket.
Recent Celebrations And Team Spirit
Just days before his CPL performance, Amir celebrated his 33rd birthday. His Instagram account (@official.mamir) has been filled with birthday celebrations and wishes from teammates and franchises. The Quetta Gladiators, one of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) teams, organized a birthday celebration for him, which Amir acknowledged in a post saying, “Thanku @quetta.gladiators for the birthday celebration.”
Another recent post from the Lahore Qalandars, another PSL franchise, referred to him as the “King of Pace” while wishing him a happy birthday. The post invited fans to drop their birthday messages for the “superstar” player, highlighting his popularity among cricket enthusiasts.
Multi-franchise Player
Amir has been associated with multiple T20 franchises in recent times. The Desert Vipers, a team in the UAE’s ILT20 league, also celebrated his birthday, referring to him as the “KING of the Vipers’ den” and the “Baadshah” (king). They also highlighted their “lethal pace attack” featuring Amir alongside other fast bowlers.
The Lahore Qalandars, with whom Amir plays in the PSL, described their pace attack as a “pace battery that is locked and about to explode,” emphasizing the formidable bowling lineup that includes Amir.
Impact On The Cricket Field
Amir’s recent 2/15 spell in the CPL is a testament to his enduring quality and ability to trouble batsmen with his pace, swing, and variations. Throughout his career, he has been known for his ability to take crucial wickets, especially in the powerplay overs of T20 matches.
His effectiveness in franchise cricket has made him a valuable asset for teams across different leagues. His recent performance in the CPL adds another chapter to his successful journey in T20 cricket post his international retirement.
