[edit]International Career

Amin's international career started in the 2010 Asia Cup when he made his debut against Sri Lanka and scoring 7 runs in his debut match.[4] In the second match against India which paksitan lost he scored 5 runs [5] and in the final match he then scored a fine 22 before being run-out in a bizzare manner.[6] as Amin had punched a delivery to long-off and completed an easy single in the 22nd over with Pakistan coasting at 135 for 1. After grounding his bat, Amin started to walk across the stumps to take up his position at the non-striker's end because the bowler, Mahmudullah, was bowling from round the wicket. While doing so, Amin was out of the crease with his bat was in the air, and the bowler - not facing the batsman, and unaware of Amin's position - perfunctorily whipped off the bails. Shakib Al Hasan, fielding at extra cover, noticed Amin was out of his crease and appealed for a run-out which was then given by the third Umpire [7]
