All-rounder Aamir Jamal will debut today in the fifth T20I against England at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

The 26-year-old will be the 98th individual to represent Pakistan in the shortest game format.

Jamal has played 13 first-class, nine List A, and 12 T20 matches so far.

“I participated as a net bowler in 2019 with Pakistani cricketers and learned that hard work is only key to representing Pakistan. Wasim Akram is someone whom I idealise. I had tears in my eyes when I was told of making my T20 debut for Pakistan,” said Jamal.

It must be noted that the series is tied 2-2 after four matches in Karachi. The remaining three games will be played on September 28, 30, and October 2.
