Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Mohammad Amir was left fuming during the Caribbean Super League after compatriot Imad Wasim's lackluster fielding effort.

Both Amir as well as Wasim play for the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons and the incident took place during the encounter against Barbados Royals.

It was a short-pitched delivery from Amir and the batter - Quinton De Kock - guided it comfortably towards the third-man boundary.

Imad was fielding at deep backward point and he was the one running towards the ball to save the four. However, he eased up and kept jogging as the ball went for a four leaving Amir agitated.
