Amir Khan

Energetic and combative, Amir Khan Malik emerged as one of the most reliable all-round contributors in Malaysian cricket. Capable of striking clean blows down the order and sending down bustling medium-pace overs, he brought a street-smart edge to the national setup. His journey reflects the growth of contemporary Malaysian cricket, where players must wear multiple hats and provide balance in high-stakes regional encounters.

Amir began playing competitive cricket in his youth, quickly progressing through the local age-group tournaments organized by the Malaysian Cricket Association. He sharpened his trade across various state and regional setups, representing domestic teams such as Central Smashers and Malaysia Reds in competitive T20 fixtures. His ability to deliver disciplined overs and strike hefty sixes in tight situations made him an automatic pick in top-flight domestic squads.

Cricket runs deep in the Malik household, and Amir shares the unique honour of representing Malaysia alongside his brother Rahim Khan Malik. This familial bond created a shared understanding on the field, with the brothers often turning matches around through coordinated bowling partnerships and aggressive middle-overs running.

By 2025 and 2026, Amir had cemented his place as a core member of the national squad. During the competitive regional cycle leading into major associate fixtures, including the Asian Games qualifiers and regional T20 series, his death-bowling discipline and lower-order hitting continued to provide vital insurance for Malaysia in tight international contests. He picked up a noteworthy three-for in his debut T20I, against Indonesia and later in September, fittingly, he was picked in the Malaysian squad for the Asian Games, 2026.
