Amir has a fantastic record in domestic T20s. He has picked up 220 wickets at an average of 22.50 and an economy rate of 7.09 in 190 matches. He has taken part in various franchise T20 leagues including PSL, LPL, and Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
Amir shocked the cricketing world when he announced his retirement from international cricket in December 2020. He said that he will no longer play for Pakistan under the current team management of head coach, Misbah-ul-Haq, and bowling coach, Waqar Younis. He claimed that he was mentally tortured by the two and despite his best efforts, he was made the scapegoat for Pakistan’s bowling failures.
