10 most overrated players in the history of cricket 

#5 Mohammad Amir

Mohammad Amir has been poor ever since he returned

When he was banned for five years from International cricket following his involvement in the Pakistani spot-fixing scandal, the cricket work was aggrieved.

Mohammad Amir was a teenager who reminded people of Wasim Akram (albeit there is not much similarity in their actions), and hence those sentiments were understandable.

However, has he actually been any good since his return despite the constant talk about him being a world class bowler?

In 16 Tests since his return, he has taken only 44 wickets and that too at an average of 37.25. In ODIs, his match-turning spell against India in last year’s ICC Champions Trophy final notwithstanding, Amir has only taken 32 wickets in 25 games and that is simply not good enough for someone who is supposed to be world-class.

Maybe he will need another season to rediscover his touch, but it hasn’t happened yet and unfortunately, he is being overrated by many.
