Former Pakistan captain Misbah ul Haq believes that Mohammad Amir's game has developed over the years, which will be an advantage for the national team because of his expetise in the death overs.

Misbah reflected on Amir's performance during Pakistan's 2017 Champions Trophy win, noting a change in his bowling dynamics with a decrease in pace, swing, and zip.

“Last time back in 2017 in the Champions Trophy, there is quite a difference between that Amir and today’s Amir. Back then, there was more pace, more swing, more zip in his bowling. But now these factors might have been slightly reduced, but there is an advantage. He know has huge experience,” Misbah told the media in Star Sports Press room.

Misbah also lauded Amir's skill as a death bowler, stating his ability to perform well under pressure and use variations effectively.

“And his experience as a death bowler, how to bowl under pressure and use variations. These factors will be a crucial asset in Amir’s forte this time. He might not be that effective with the new ball, but in the death he will be crucial with his slower balls, aimed at outside the off stump,” he added.

Amir made a comeback to international cricket during the home T20I series against New Zealand, reversing his retirement decision. He claimed four wickets in five matches across the New Zealand and Ireland series.
