Want to leave my impact here: Mohammad Amir ahead of his county debut for Gloucestershire
Former Pakistan international Mohammad Amir has expressed his excitement about representing Gloucestershire in the ongoing season of County Championship.
Amir, who retired from Test cricket in 2019, will make his comeback in red-ball cricket after three years when Gloucestershire faces off against Surrey from Thursday, April 28, onwards.
The left-arm seamer has signed up for three county championship games and is excited to make an impact straight away.
"I'm feeling excited for tomorrow. I always enjoy county cricket whenever I play here and I'm looking forward to the next challenge. I'm playing red-ball cricket after three years. I'm excited and will look to do well for my team, Gloucestershire," Amir spoke on Gloucestershire's Youtube channel.
Though Gloucestershire lost their last game to Lancashire by an innings & 57 runs, their youngsters showed fight in the second innings, something that has hugely impressed Amir.
The renowned pacer is looking to guide the youngsters with his experience besides giving his 100% to the county.
"The way they played against Lancashire. We were struggling after the first innings, but the way they came back and fought well, I was sitting in the dressing room and saying to myself, 'I'm in the good side here'. I love youngsters and the way they fought with their heart," he added.
The speedster has represented Pakistan in 36 Tests, claiming 119 wickets at an average of 30.48 with four five-wicket-hauls.
Gloucestershire, meanwhile, will look to bounce back from the morale crushing defeat that they suffered at the hands of Lancashire last week.
"Hopefully, I'll chip in and share my experience with the youngsters and do well for Gloucestershire. I will put in my 200% effort. I want to finish three games on a high note and leave my impact here," Amir concluded.
