LAHORE: Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir on Saturday bagged three wickets in a club match to show he has not lost much of fire and sting despite his absence from active cricket for nearly five years owing to an ICC ban for spot-fixing.

Amir, who was allowed by the ICC to return to domestic cricket this week, looked sharp and bowled well to take 3-27 with the ball in a club match played at the University of Engineering and Technology. The left-arm pacer also scored a fluent 33 with the bat.

On the occasion, the erstwhile banned bowler vowed that he would stage a comeback at international level very soon and will get his rhythm back gradually.
