The Pakistani cricketer also revealed that after returning he had bowled second most number of over last year.

While talking about his image post ban from International cricket he said, he said in the Champions Trophy two deliveries that he bowled to Indian skipper Virat Kohli changed his image in the United Kingdom. The Indian captain's catch was dropped in the first delivery but in the second delivery, Virat Kohli was sent back.

“Those two deliveries, the first one on which Azhar [bhai] dropped Kohli’s catch and the next ball where I claimed his wicket changed my image in UK,” Amir said. “When I was walking back to my bowling mark after the dropped catch, I was thinking that we have lost half of the final now,” Mohammad Amir further added.
