[VIDEOS] "I have high hopes of making a comeback to the Pakistan team" : Aamer Yamin

Another player who needs to have a good PSL to get himself noticed for the WT20 squad.
 
Gotten a wicket now. Agree with many, should've been kept in the LOI setup. He's a decent bowler and solid batsman.

Actually I think he would fit our test team better. He can bat well at no.7 and provide a decent 5th bowling options to rest our young quicks.
 
Beautiful ball to remove Rilee.. missed a hat trick
 
Don't disagree honestly. But should have represent Pakistan more. Decent pace for a medium pace and reliable batter.
 
One of the most underrated cricketer in Pakistan setup right now, he should have been playing all SENA games instead of so called Al rounders

Not a reliable batter, can't take on the bowlers and hit them.

Bowling, he's a medium pace trundler, like others - Anwar Ali and Amad Butt. He has to be exceptionally good with his accuracy and lengths to be able to not get hit by international class batsmen.

So, is his medium pace trundling exceptional? We'll see.
 
I think he gets passed over because he's not a fast bowler. But he does seem to get the ball to move off the seam and hits good lengths. People underrate genuine seam bowling skills in favour of fast bowlers who look flash but have no control or brains.

Really?

So, what's different about him that others TTFs don't have - like Anwar Ali, Bilawal Bhatti, Amad Butt, Faheem?

Is he Pandya class batsman? Can he hit fast bowlers at will, not just mid wicket slogs?

How many times have you seen him hit on the off side?

Is he exceptionally good medium pace trundler?

Don't know about his batting, but he can produce some great deliveries as a bowler.

1. His batting isn't good enough. I'm willing to see more of that, if he's able to hit pacers, on the off side, and not just hoick it at the mid wicket/long on area.

2. Bowling is medium pace trundling. Many before him came, at a higher pace, impressed at first, but then disappeared.

With his pace, he's hittable. We have yet to see if he's accurate enough like M. Amir to not get hit. Let's see where he ends up in bowling.

His batting is way better than the hacks Faheem and Amad. Unlike them he has a solid technique and can also hit well. His bowling can be inconsistent but on present form it's again way better than Faheem and Amad. If we decide that we need a bowling all-rounder then he should certainly be at the top of the list.

He's done more good then bad in his bowling with the new ball.

His batting is easily better than Faheem.

He’s a genuine batsman who averages nearly 40 in first class. Much better bat than faheem and Amad

He’s useful with new ball. Genuine swing bowler

FC average doesn't matter. He can't play the role we need him for - allrounder, come in late, smash the bowlers in particular pacers.

By default, for any allrounder coming up in PAK, you should assume that they're not international class. They'll be bits and pieces, and won't be able to bat like we want them to.

Our specialist batters are OK, it's the late order hitters/allrounders we don't have.

Of course, all of you will say:

- He's better than Amad Butt
- He's better than Faheem
- He's better than Anwar Ali
- He's better than Bilawal Bhatti

Surprise - the same was said when each of the above names got a chance. They were hyped to the moon before their chances, did well in their first few matches, but then found out.

We don't have any quality allrounder and no, there's no compelling evidence to say Amir Yameen is better than all of them and will change our fortunes.

Of course, I'm willing to watch him bat more. And bowl.

But 99% chance he'll be like others.

I don’t know whether he’ll set world on fire or not but Amir Yamin has been treated unjustly.

He performed decently for Pakistan in whatever limited chances he got but was never afforded the same opportunity that likes of Anwar Ali and faheem. Amad seems to be the new favorite and amazingly even he has moved ahead of Yamin in pecking order despite being ordinary in every facet.


Yamin doesn’t need to be stokes, he needs to be better than his competition which he arguably is and should be afforded a decent run in the national side.


Having seen him bat I am sure he can average 30+ at 90+ strike rate with bat and would be handy for Pakistan given the dearth of decent all-rounders. He can play aggressively by playing orthodox cricket shots

I never called him a proper batsman just pointed out fallacy in your statement

He can bat better in later order than other pretenders. That’s all

Perhaps you should watch him bat and bowl a bit more, then pass judgement.

Forgive me for being skeptical, but there's almost no hope of a quality pace bowling allrounder coming up anytime soon.

If he was really good enough, he would've gotten a chance a few years back.
 
Forget ODIs

He is more suited to test cricket at 7, our next two series are in England and NZ.

Genius, it doesn't matter who selects him.

Anyone new who gets selected is an interesting thing and should be backed. Unless they're proven mediocrities with no ability.

As I said earlier, I want to watch him more but being skeptical means it's a prediction he will turn out like other allrounders.
 
People disregard him because he's small and doesn't bowl as fast as someone like Faheem, although the difference is minimal. Yamin usually bowls at an average pace in the low 130s, whereas Faheem is usually mid 130s.

Yamin is 10 times the batsmen Faheem is. I would try him in T20Is.
 
Pulled a hamstring today - hope he recovers.

Have you seen him bat? He isn't a blind slogger like Faheem or Amad. He is a proper batsman and can score quickly. His bowling though needs improvement. I am not hyping him and he is probably not the answer to our long enduring problem of a fast bowling all-rounder but he is certainly better than a lot of hacks who have gotten more chances than him.
 
Unfortunate end to his PSL 5:

Karachi Kings’ all-rounder Aamer Yamin has been ruled out of the HBL PSL 2020 due to a hamstring injury and will be replaced by Waqas Maqsood, it was announced today.

The 29-year-old sustained the injury while bowling in his side’s fixture against Lahore Qalandars on Sunday. He has featured for Kings in three matches this season

Waqas, 32, previously turned out for Islamabad United in the 2019 edition, in which he played two matches

The replacement was approved by the event’s technical committee which includes PCB CEO Wasim Khan, Bazid Khan, Marina Iqbal, Sameer Khosa and Dr Sohail Saleem.
 
Feel for the guy.

He was bowling well, the injury couldn't have come at a worse time for him.

30-years-old today - is there still hope for him to make a name in international cricket?
 
Another nothing player with even less to offer at test level. The guy would be at best a 6th bowler and a test 8,remind you of anyone that played the last test.
 
I think the time of bits and pieces players has gone. Hafeez was the last of them. I really don't think we will be seeing more such players. If you're going for an all rounder in the team then Shadab is the best option because of his ability to contribute both with the ball and the ball.
 
For the love of god, select him before he is 40.
Has the natural gift of timing. Extremely clean-hitter and also swings is it most among the active Pakistani bowlers.
33 off 9 tonight with 4 sixes and a four.
 
Been saying for so long, he's the all rounder we should've invested in. He batted well in the one chance he got in 2015 yet was dropped inexplicably. Also a handy bowler, could've been good in England during the world cup.
 
Has been the main bowler of his team and now performed with the bat when they needed the most.
 
The thing is, unlike Faheem or even Amad, you can tell he's a genuine batsman, not a slogger. He's someone who could come in during the 45th over and do damage, but also come in the 30th over and rebuild the innings.
 
That was a clinic in how to finish an innings from Aamer Yamin.

God is there any hope for Pakistani selectors ?! Why has this man rotted on the sidelines for years.
 
Hoping to see him in the Zimbabwe series. Deserves an extended opportunity.
 
Probably the best and most authentic allrounder in Pakistan cricket right now. Needs to play all formats until his shelf life is over.
 
Most underrated cricketer in Pakistan & probably the most unfairly treated one too but with Misbah going hopefully he’ll get a overdue run in the national team in all formats
 
He seems to being everything right. Performs when his team needs him to. Is consistent, good timer with the bat, wicket taking bowler and good fielder. At the age of 30, its now or never for Aamir Yamin.
 
The most annoying part is that his bowling isn't rated. People act like he bowls 115kph. In reality he's between 130-135kph which is not lighting fast but also not slow. He's a decent bowler, not much worse than Faheem Ashraf
 
Useful innings!

Absolutely; tests, odi’s, t20s, T10s, Hong Kong super sixes and ramzan tape ball.. in all seriousness yes, he could have been a genuine international all rounder. Instead we progressed with Malik and others for the last few years
 
Great knock.

That being said, Amad Butt had a much better tournament with the ball and is much, much younger. I would still select him over a 30 year old, to be honest.

Actually, Aamer Yamin should have been persisted with 3 years ago instead of Faheem. Now, it’s too late and we shouldn’t try to keep catching up to past mistakes. By the time he gels in with the team, he will only have 1 or max 2 years remaining. And then we have to transition again.
 
An exceptional talent we are wasting he have good record in domestic also performamed in every his international match there is no better all rounder in pak than him
 
The best thing about him is , he swings the ball both ways at decent pace, just the massive Pakistani obsession for pace got him the short end of the stick. He would be tough 5th bowler to bat against especially in English and SENA conditions.

Yes he should have never be dropped a better bowler than faheem and 10 times better batman than faheem
 
Last edited:
Didn't rate him before this tournament. If Faheem can get extended run after one innings against Bangladesh in a practice match then why not Aamer Yamin after consistent performances in domestic cricket. He should be a regular part of T20 team after performances in this tournament alone.
 
Have always been a supporter of Yamin. He is more than just a late order hitter with the bat. And now that his bowling (which wasn't too bad to start with) has improved further I just can't see any reason for him to not be in the squad. He is the only realistic option we have for a pace bowling allrounder.
 
Sad news that Aamer's father has passed away.

Unlucky guy, should of been there on the plane to NZ for the Test series. He should be batting at 6 in our Test playing XI. He has the potential to be a decent Test all-rounder.

From PB report for Day 1, Round 7, QeA20

However, Southern Punjab hit back hard when Aamir Yamin produced a sensational last-session spell to leave Balochistan tottering at 16 for four. Aamir grabbed three for four in four overs, while Mohammad Ilyas picked up one wicket.

Aamir Yamin celebrated his 50th first-class match with figures of 14-3-47-6 as Balochistan were bundled out for 164 in reply to Southern Punjab’s 256.

After securing 92-run first innings lead, Southern Punjab had put a stranglehold over Balochistan by reaching 149 for two at the close of play. Imran Rafiq (60) and Saif Badar (41) will resume Southern Punjab’s second innings on Thursday.

30-year-old Aamir Yamin, who had taken three of the four Balochistan wickets to fall in the short final session on Tuesday, continued to maintain his nagging line and length. He was well supported by the fielders who enabled him to secure his seventh five-fer since making his debut 11 years ago.
 
Round 8, QeA20

Aamer Yamin, hit a scorching 55-ball 93, which included eight sixes and as many fours
 
Scored 73 today in the Pakistan Cup round game. Should be considered in LOIs for Pakistan.

What the stats don't show is that he's an excellent new ball bowler but a terrible death overs bowler. Given that we have other death overs options, we can get atleast three overs from him in the powerplay, to complement Shaheen.
