West Indies all-rounder and Peshawar Zalmi captain Darren Sammy believes pace bowler Mohammad Amir Khan is a “tremendous talent”.
Khan, 18, is playing for the Zalmi in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL).
He finished with figures of 1-24 in the Zalmi’s six-wicket win over the Quetta Gladiators, but went wicketless in their six-wicket loss to the Multan Sultans.
In the Zalmi’s most recent game, which was a 16-run win over the Lahore Qalandars, Khan claimed one wicket and conceded 11 runs from the two overs he bowled.
Darren Sammy "Mohammad Amir Khan has tremendous talent. I watched him at the Under 19 World Cup and that's why he is here in our team. To come on this big stage where the guys are going after the bowling, he showed maturity and composure" #PSL2020 #LQvPZ pic.twitter.com/EAH8uL0s04
