International Coach
A different comparison thread.
Both Junaid and Amir started around the same time played a lot of junior cricket together and rose through the ranks together with Junaid always being considered as an Amir-lite. Amir was seen as a blue eyed boy since the U-15 days and was always considered to be destined for big things while Juanid was among a bunch of young bowlers with potential to play international cricket if he keeps improving. However after what happened in England 2 years back Junaid was given the promotion over other young seamers as Pakistan got desperate to fill the void left by Amir.
Junaid has now been on the international scent for almost 2 years which is double the time Amir was around on the international scene. So given what we have seen what do people think about him how he compares to his much highly rated compatriot? will he able to reach the heights that Pakistan and world cricket expected from Amir ?
