Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Amir are arguably the best Pakistani pace bowlers of the modern era, however, they have not bowled much together at their peaks, depriving fans of the joy to see them wreaking havoc on opponents.
They played together for Pakistan until Amir announced his sudden retirement from international cricket in 2020. Shaheen Afridi became the spearhead of the team since then.
However, fans wanted to see these two in action for the same team again and the wish was fulfilled yesterday, as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Amir shared the new ball for Desert Vipers in a thrilling display of talent and nostalgia during their ILT20 match against Gulf Giants.
Shaheen, who missed the first game due to national commitments, made a remarkable debut in the tournament, showcasing his precision and skill. The 23-year-old left-arm pacer delivered an impressive performance, clinching three wickets in his four-over spell and conceding a mere 22 runs.
On the other end, the seasoned Mohammad Amir played a crucial role, securing one wicket while giving away 27 runs in his four overs.
This partnership marked a special moment for Pakistan cricket enthusiasts as they witnessed the dynamic duo bowling together for the first time since 2020. They last played together in Amir’s last international match, which was a T20I against England.
The fans were overjoyed to see Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Amir, two formidable pacers, reuniting on the field and delivering a stellar performance for Desert Vipers in the ongoing ILT20 tournament.

It's weird watching Shaheen & Amir open the bowling together in a T20 in 2024. Like a weird multiverse version of what could have been…
