LAHORE: Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir on Saturday bagged three wickets in a club match to show he has not lost much of fire and sting despite his absence from active cricket for nearly five years owing to an ICC ban for spot-fixing.
Amir, who was allowed by the ICC to return to domestic cricket this week, looked sharp and bowled well to take 3-27 with the ball in a club match played at the University of Engineering and Technology. The left-arm pacer also scored a fluent 33 with the bat.
On the occasion, the erstwhile banned bowler vowed that he would stage a comeback at international level very soon and will get his rhythm back gradually.

Re: Amir bags three on return
played many games on this UET ground!
Aamir.....we need you so badly. we have nothing in our arsenal. nothing. wahabs, irfans, tanvirs, junaids...........all came and gone
whatever aamir did was terrible but he paid a price for it. board shd do everything to bring him to speed for the international cricket.
Even if he is half as good as he was 5 years ago, he would still be better than Riaz, Bhatti or Irfan.

In the finals, the Amir vs. Swamy clash would be a sight for the gods.

That's what makes him unpredictable. He can't see where he is bowling
