Mohammad Amir joins Kent for T20 Blast!
Kent has signed the 29-year-old left-arm bowler for the second half of this year’s T20 Blast campaign.
Former Pakistan fast pacer will join the Spitfires for up to seven group games.
As being reported, the date of Amir’s arrival will depend on Karachi Kings’ progression in the Pakistan Super League and quarantine requirements upon entry to the UK.
Kent director of cricket Paul Downton in comments shared on the website said, “We’re delighted that a player of Amir’s quality has agreed to join us for the later stages of the Blast this year.”
“His skill and experience will be an invaluable addition to our bowling attack,” he added.
