Amir continued to impress as the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 tournament continued, taking a wicket in his opening spell in 6 of the 7 games he played, including the final. He was particularly effective at using the short ball, with his skiddy bouncers rushing onto the batsmen, often causing them to mishit the ball for a catch. Amir consistently clocked speeds of above 145 kilometres per hour (90 miles per hour) and bowled his quickest delivery in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 final against Sri Lanka, at 152 kilometres per hour (94.4 miles per hour). His most important moment arguably came in the opening over of the 2009 Twenty20 World Cup final against Sri Lanka.

A skiddy right arm quick bowler, and tail end right-handed batsman, he made his Yorkshire debut at the age of 16 years and 75 days, the then youngest player to ever represent his county, and was tipped for Test stardom but he failed to establish himself as a permanent member of the England team. He played for Yorkshire from 1981 to 1993, winning his first team cap in 1986, after taking 11 for 92 against Middlesex. He was the youngest player to take a hat-trick in the Sunday League in 1982 and in the County Championship in 1985, but as Yorkshire tired of his constant injury problems, he was released to play for Sussex from 1994 to 1998. He had 51 victims in 1994 in his first season there, winning his second county cap, but was again plagued by injury thereafter. His experiences at Somerset from 1999 to 2002 were similar, but he could still be a potent force in one day cricket on his day, as he proved by taking 5 for 55 in the 1999 NatWest Trophy final against Gloucestershire.
