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. Amin made his test debut against Australia and scored one run in his debut innings before scoring 33 in the second innings as Pakistan lost by 150 runs. He did, however, contribute valuable runs in his T20I debut, scoring 47 off 34 balls, the highest of the winning Pakistan team. Amin was chosen as captain of Pakistan A during South Africa's tour of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in October–November 2013. Many former Pakistani legends saw him as the best young batsman in Pakistan and a strong contender for future captaincy. Rashid Latif said about him, "However, considering our planning for the 2015 World Cup, I believe young Umar Amin can be groomed as ODI team leader". After being promoted before a home series against South Africa in the UAE, Amin scored only 52 runs in four innings. In the T20I series against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka he managed 22 runs in three innings before being dropped from the national squad. However he excelled in the ODi series against Zimbabwe scoring a fifty in the only game he played.
