Aamer Yamin is the cricketer of Pakistan nationality who made his international debut in 2015, however, was soon dropped from the team after some dismal performances. Yamin played for Bengal Tigers in the second edition of T10 league and was clinical with the ball. The 28-year-old all-rounder was the leader of the pace attack for Bengal and bowled with a decent line and length making it tough for the batsman to score easy runs off him.

The Multan -born cricketer took four wickets in four balls to wrap up a resounding 36-run win for the Tigers over Northern Warriors in their first match.
