Mohammad Amir lost his cool again during the match between Karachi Kings and Islamabad United on Thursday in HBL PSL 8.
Emerging batsman, Hassan Nawaz, tried to take on Amir on his first delivery but missed the connection. Left-arm pacer didn’t like it and said few words to the rookie batsman. Nawaz then spanked Amir through covers for a boundary on next ball.
However, the left-arm pacer had the last laugh, as Nawaz top-edged a short delivery straight into the hands of the keeper. Amir was pumped and gave a send-off to the batsman.
Tom Curran also had a slog at Amir, but ended up top-edging him over the keeper for a boundary on his first ball. Amir wasn’t amused and exchanged a few words with him. Curran didn’t back down and replied with few words of his own.
The pacer took two wickets, while conceding 30 runs in his four-over spell against United.
Earlier this week on Tuesday, Peshawar Zalmi captain, Babar played a match-winning 68-run knock from 46 balls against Kings. During his innings, he flicked Amir for a boundary, which frustrated the left-arm pacer and he threw the next ball towards Babar in desperation.
“It was heat of the moment thing and it was nothing personal [against Babar]. Bowlers should show aggression on the field,” Amir said in pre-match interview on Thursday.
Karachi Kings lost both aforementioned matches and are yet to register a win in HBL PSL 8.
