Amir even gave examples of Pakistan's 1992 World Cup win under Imran Khan, 2009 T20 World Cup victory, and win over India in the 2017 Champions Trophy final. “Captaincy does matter.

What is the system? It is not a wall. Five and six people have been given the responsibility to run Pakistan cricket. A captain is also one of them.

In 1992 under Imran Khan, we won the World Cup, and the system was the same. In 1999 our team was a world-beater, who reached the finals. We won the 2009 T20 World Cup with the same system, and we won the 2017 Champions Trophy under the same system," HT quoted Geo News where Amir made his comments.
