This episode is what you might call a Pakistan special as we chat with Mohammad Amir and Shadab Khan, part of the four-man contingent from that country who are bolstering the Vipers ranks for this second edition of the DP World ILT20.

Amir played in the first match of the season against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and now Shadab is in Dubai as well, along with Shaheen Shah Afridi and Azam Khan.

We caught up with Amir and Shadab during a media interaction with local and international journalists and, as you’ll hear from the chat, they were in a relaxed mood ahead of the Vipers' next match of the tournament, against the Gulf Giants at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday, January the 24th.

Talking of which, tickets for that clash, a repeat of the 2023 final, and all other Vipers matches this season, are available via the ILT20 website, www.ilt20.ae and also at all Virgin Megastores in the UAE.
