Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has joined the Essex squad for the Vitality Blast T20, set to commence today.
The arrival of the veteran pacer was announced via Essex’s social media handle in a video.
“Great to be back here. I am really happy and I am looking forward to seeing you all. I need your support,” Mohammad Amir said in the video shared on X.
The left-arm pacer first joined the club in 2017 and played in three seasons for the side.
The left-arm pacer has represented Essex in 21 games, scalping 24 wickets. Amir’s best season came in 2019, when he bagged 10 wickets at an impressive average of 20.10.
In that year, Essex achieved the double by winning the Vitality Blast final after securing the county title.
It is worth mentioning that Mohammad Amir announced his retirement from international cricket last year. He has claimed 71 wickets at 21.64 in 62 T20Is for Pakistan. He was also a pivotal part of Pakistan’s 2009 ICC T20 World Cup-winning campaign.
The 33-year-old recently represented Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10, claiming 13 wickets in nine matches. However, his team ended on the losing side in the nerve-wrecking PSL 10 final.
Lahore Qalandars lifted the PSL trophy for the third time after defeating Quetta Gladiators by six wickets.
Set to chase 202 for victory, Sikandar Raza and Kusal Perera staged an unbroken 59-run partnership to complete the highest chase in a PSL final.
