On Thursday, veteran left-arm bowler Mohammad Amir shared his ambitions for leading Pakistan’s star-studded pace attack in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Reversing his retirement earlier in the year, Amir praised Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen Shah Afridi for spearheading the national team’s speed assault while emphasizing that, as the senior player, he always aims to lead from the front.
At the end of the day, you have to play, whether it’s league or international cricket, so I’m looking forward to playing here and doing well. I will always aim to lead from the front as a senior bowler, said Amir.
However, Naseem, Haris, and Shaheen have all shown good performance during the past four years. I thus have an additional obligation to perform well for the team and for them. Pakistan is grouped with the co-host, the United States of America (USA), Ireland, Canada, and bitter foe India.
The Green Shirts’ T20 World Cup 2024 campaign will begin here on Thursday against the USA, and on June 9 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, they will play their bitter rivals, India.
The squad, according to Mohammad Amir, is undeterred by its opponents and is aiming for a flawless performance in the group round.
You know what, we are concerned about ourselves. stated Amir. We want to win each and every game; that is why we are here. There is no room for error in World Cup cricket; we must give it our all in every match.
It’s a tremendous task to visit ICC Events. However, we are prepared to take on this challenge and excel in this situation. He also defended young wicketkeeper batsman Azam Khan and struggling all-rounder Shadab Khan, saying that the two could win the game on their own.
As I often say, a player who has proven himself through performance never questions his abilities. Yes, cricket is going through a rough moment. And every cricket player experiences this. According to Amir, even the legendary themselves have moments when they are unable to perform to the highest standard.
