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.
