The left-arm quick was banned in 2010 along with Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif for the infamous spot-fixing scandal. In the August of 2015, he was declared free to play all forms of cricket from September 2015. In January 2016, he made his return to international cricket in a Twenty20 match against New Zealand. He took a hat-trick for Karachi Kings in the recently concluded Pakistan Super League, along with other economical bowling spells.

He has also been chosen for the team against West Indies. The full series, that includes three Test matches, starts with a T20 international at Bridgetown on March 26.

Amir made his domestic debut in 2007, and his first international debut in 2009 in against Sri Lanka when he was just 17 years of age. He played all the games of the 2009 T20 World cup, in which his contribution was essential to Pakistan winning the tournament. He also enjoys a distinction of playing the most number of Test matches before claiming his first catch.
