Make no mistake about it, all eyes will be on Mohammad Amir as he returns to England 6 years after the ignominy of the spot-fixing scandal he found himself the centre of. Undoubtedly one of the most talented bowlers the world has seen recently, he should thrive in English conditions.

Back in 2010, he was the leading wicket-taker for Pakistan with 19 wickets. He recorded two five-for and picked up 6 wickets in the 3rd Test to lead his side to a win. What followed was the disgrace of the spot-fixing scandal.

Since his return, Amir has been a man on a mission picking up wickets aplenty. He looks like a player who hasn’t skipped a beat. He recently marked his return to first-class cricket in England by picking up 3 wickets against Somerset.
