Zamin Ally Amin (born 4 April 1963) is a former American cricketer of Guyanese origin. A left-arm orthodox bowler, he played for the American national side from 1990 to 2004.

Amin hails from Chesney, in Guyana's East Berbice-Corentyne region, and played for the Guyana under-19s before emigrating to the United States. [1] He made his senior debut for the U.S. national team at the 1990 ICC Trophy in the Netherlands, [2] and took 13 wickets from seven games to finish as the team's leading wicket-taker (and fifth overall). [3] His best figures of the tournament, 4/29 from ten overs, came against Gibraltar. [4] Amin was also the leading wicket-taker for the U.S. at the 1994 ICC Trophy, taking 11 wickets from seven matches (including 5/20 against Israel). He came close to repeating the feat at the tournament's 1997 edition, with only Derek Kallicharran taking more wickets among his teammates. [2]

In October 1998, Amin played for the U.S. in the 1998–99 Red Stripe Bowl, the West Indian domestic one-day competition. He had little opportunity to bowl in his two matches, and went wicketless. [5] Amin's next major international tournament was the 2000 Americas Cricket Cup in Canada. [6] After that, he did not return to the national team until March 2004, when he represented the U.S. in the ICC Six Nations Challenge in the United Arab Emirates. [5] Later in the year, in May, Amin was selected to make his first-class debut, playing against Canada in the newly established ICC Intercontinental Cup. [7] He was 43 years old at the time of his debut, and took two wickets in each innings. [8] Despite his age, Amin was his team's equal leading wicket-taker at the 2004 ICC Americas Championship in Bermuda, with his best figures being 5/31 against Argentina. [6] After the conclusion of the championship, the U.S. played an Intercontinental Cup fixture against Bermuda, which was Amin's last international appearance. [7]

In February 2020, he was named in the West Indies' squad for the Over-50s Cricket World Cup in South Africa. [9] [10] However, the tournament was cancelled during the third round of matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [11]
