[2] He made his Test debut on 13 July 2010 in the opening match of the series at Lord's Cricket Ground, London, UK.

[13] He made his debut using a bat once owned by Sachin Tendulkar, given to him by Shoaib Akhtar after a match winning innings for Rawalpindi in a domestic game.

After grounding his bat, Amin started to walk across the stumps to take his position at the non-striker's end because the bowler, Mahmudullah, was bowling from round the wicket.

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.

[19] 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".
