Aamer Sohail (born Mohammad Aamer Sohail Ali on September 14, 1966 in Lahore, Punjab) is a former professional Pakistani cricketer and PCB Chief Selector, who was later involved in the Shane Warne/Mark Waugh match fixing scandal in 1998.

He made his first-class debut in 1983, a left-handed opening batsman and occasional left arm spin bowler. In a playing career that spanned eighteen years, Sohail played in 195 first-class and 261 List A Limited Overs matches, including 47 Test matches and 156 one-day internationals for the Pakistan national team.

An aggressive batsman, Sohail's first appeared for the national team in a 1990 one-day international against Sri Lanka and enjoyed a successful international career. He was an important member of the Pakistan team that won the 1992 Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Sohail was thrown into the heart of the match-fixing scandal that rocked cricket in the 1990s; as captain of the national team he was one of the whistle-blowers, a decision that may have negatively affected his international career [1].

After retiring from cricket in 2001 Sohail became chief selector for the national team, his tenure ending in January 2004 when he was replaced by former national team wicketkeeper Wasim Bari, and he continues to work as a cricket broadcaster.
