One of the real OGs of Pakistan cricket. In ICC events and high-pressure games, we always go the extra mile. One of the best bowlers we have ever produced. He made a career out of performing. He is not based on the publicity and hype of paid agencies. A true legend, Mohammed Amir🫡🙏 #PAKvCAN pic.twitter.com/fGT38be2az
