Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has lauded Pakistan left-arm seamer Mohammad Amir, saying he is a “champion bowler” who will “help the team with three to four wickets”.
Amir reversed his decision to retire from international cricket after the 2024 T20 World Cup and subsequently played in a number of T20I series for Pakistan, including against New Zealand, Ireland and England.
Most recently, the 32-year-old was in action in the 2024 T20 World Cup and took seven wickets in four matches at an average of 10.28 and an economy rate of 4.50.
“You have been a champion bowler for Pakistan. There is a faith that whenever you have the ball in hand, you will help the team with three to four wickets,” Harbhajan was quoted as saying by NDTV.
Pakistan lost to the United States of America and India in the T20 World Cup before rebounding to beat Canada and Ireland.
However, those two victories went in vain as the men in green were eliminated in the group stage of the competition.
