Former fast bowler Mohammad Amir has received high praise from the National Cricket Team Director, Mickey Arthur, who sees him as a valuable addition to the Derbyshire team.
According to Arthur, Amir’s skill as one of the finest bowlers globally and his ability to be a game-changer make him an asset to Derbyshire. Amir’s presence is expected to bolster the team’s bowling attack. Notably, Amir retired from international cricket and is now part of Derbyshire as an overseas player for the initial phase of the 2024 season.
It’s worth noting that Mohammad Amir and Mickey Arthur share an intriguing history. They worked closely as coach and player during the period when Pakistan, led by Sarfraz Ahmed, clinched victory in the ICC Champions Trophy by defeating India. Amir was a pivotal figure in the national team’s bowling lineup during this successful phase.
