5 Most promising young fast bowlers in international cricket at the moment

Mohammad Amir:

He may be famous for reasons other than his cricket, but there is no denying that Mohammad Amir is one of the most skilful bowlers around. The 24-year old is Pakistan’s trump card, and their leading bowler in all 3 formats. Making his debut as a 17-year old, Amir never ceased to impress, and one can only speculate how great he would’ve been had he not missed 5 years of cricket.

Considering that he played most of his cricket as a teen, Amir’s record is outstanding. An average of 22 in both T20Is and ODIs, Amir has picked up four or more wickets in 5 out of 27 innings in Tests. His miserly economy rate in limited over formats of 4.4 and 7 respectively complement his effectiveness and shear domination over the fellow batsmen.

Amir, in every sense a wicket taker, has a multitude of abilities up his sleeve. He can clock the high 140s regularly, and can accurately shape the ball both ways, which gets more lethal with his late swing. He is an exponent of reverse swing as well, and consistently tests the batsmen in all format. He varies his lengths according to the format requirements which make him successful and his lethal toe-crushing yorkers and accurate bouncers, along with his pace variations assure him success across formats.
