Star fast bowler Mohammad Amir has been handed a fresh leadership role in his career, as he prepares to captain the newly introduced Quetta Cavalry in the upcoming Abu Dhabi T10 League 2025. The franchise confirmed the appointment while expressing complete confidence in Amir’s ability to guide a young and ambitious squad in what will be his first-ever stint as captain in the ultra-fast T10 format.
For Quetta Cavalry, the management sees Amir as a natural fit for leadership — a bowler whose intensity, experience across global leagues, and fearlessness under pressure can shape the identity of a new team. According to the franchise, Amir is expected to lead not only with the new ball but also mentor the group of emerging pacers looking to make an impact on an international stage.
Quetta Cavalry have built a well-rounded squad for their debut season, featuring dependable names such as Sikandar Raza, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Irfan Khan Niazi, Khuzaima Bin Tanveer, and Arafat Minhas. The combination of youthful energy and experienced campaigners is one the management believes Amir can mould into a fierce, fast-moving unit suited to the high-tempo demands of T10 cricket.
Amir, speaking after the appointment, said he was honoured to be entrusted with the captaincy and fully aware of the responsibility that comes with it. He described the Quetta Cavalry as a team that will play “fighting cricket,” adding that the T10 format — with its rapid pace and razor-thin margins — demands clarity, aggression, and sharp decision-making.
The Abu Dhabi T10 League begins on 18 November, bringing together top cricketers from across the world for a tournament known for its explosive hitting and unpredictable momentum swings. For Quetta Cavalry, it marks the start of a new chapter — and for Mohammad Amir, the beginning of a leadership role many believe is tailor-made for his competitive spirit.
Fans now wait eagerly to see whether Amir’s firepower, paired with his new leadership responsibility, can turn Quetta Cavalry into one of the standout teams of the tournament.
