He was introduced to para-cricket in 2013 by a teacher who saw his potential and helped him develop his distinctive playing technique.It's incredible how moving Amir's story is. We applaud your bravery, commitment to the game, and perseverance in the face of adversity.

My family was there for me no matter what, even when the government didn't help me," Lone told the news agency. He described how it startled everyone to watch him perform without using his hands. In 2013 I participated in a national team game in Delhi, and in 2018 I participated in an international match against Bangladesh. I then performed in Dubai, Sharjah, and Nepal. When I started playing with my legs (bowling) and batting with my neck and shoulder, everyone was startled. "I give thanks to God that I have the stamina to play cricket," Lone exclaimed. He added that Pickle Entertainment was making a movie on him. "The release date for the movie Pickle Entertainment is producing about me will be revealed soon. I attended a show that also included Vicky Kaushal. The cricket player remarked, "They stated they will create a film on me after being amazed by my journey.His favourite players, along with those of his team, are Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.
