Aamer Jamal is scripting a memorable tale in Australia during the ongoing three-match Test series between Australia and Pakistan. The 27-year-old, who had previously only played four T20Is, received the opportunity to make his Test debut in this challenging series. Despite facing formidable opponents and navigating difficult conditions, Jamal embraced the chance to showcase his skills with determination.
Notably, the Pakistani fast bowler has not only left an impact with his bowling but has also showcased his batting prowess on Australian soil. In his debut Test innings in Perth, Aamer Jamal delivered an impressive performance, securing a 6-wicket haul. Despite conceding 111 runs in less than 21 overs, he compensated with his six-wicket feat.
