PAK vs NZ: Mohammad Amir Takes Wicket in First Over Upon Return from Retirement

Pakistan cricketing icon, Mohammad Amir, returned to international cricket in spectacular fashion, taking a wicket on the second ball of the very first over he bowled after coming out of retirement.

It all happened during the second T20I match against New Zealand at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Mohammad Amir was given the ball in the fourth over and dismissed the New Zealand youngster Tim Robinson with a perfectly executed slower delivery outside off stump.

Mohammad Amir struck again in the sixth over, dismissing Dean Foxcroft with a well-executed slower delivery, just like his previous wicket. He registered a spectacular figure of 2/13 in the three overs he bowled.

Shaheen Shah Afridi claimed three-wicket haul while the likes of Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan also picked up two wickets each as New Zealand were bowled out for just 90 runs in 18.1 overs. Naseem Shah also bagged one wicket.
