Mohammad Amir will be under eyes of the cricket world when
he makes his international comeback in New Zealand on Friday after serving a
five-year ban for spot-fixing. It is expected he will be included in the opening T20 when Pakistan will launch their aggressive bowling attack against a
New Zealand side having in-form batsmen. Pakistan coach Waqar Younis said he
hopes the young fast bowler to cooperate with intense inspection put on him
when he starts to bowl.
Waqar said it is difficult to tell how the whole matter will
come out but my experience says that he is an intelligent boy and even at the
age of 18 he was smart then because he knows what he is doing. A five year ban
was put on Amir when he was found guilty of spot fixing after he deliberately
bowled no-balls in a Test against England at Lords.
Pakistan’s pace armory which includes Anwar Ali, Aamer
Yamin, Umar Gul and Wahab Riaz will be boosted with his return to the world
stage. Riaz said they have increased range of hostile options with Amir’s
in-swing ability. Riaz added that he is getting an opportunity because he is a
great fast bowler that he has showed in the past and it is time for him to
prove here as well and he will show it.
