Currently, he is the captain of the para cricket team of Jammu & Kashmir's Para cricket team.

Recently, former Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar respected Aamir's wish and took to X to encourage him, in which he wrote "One day I will meet Aamir and on that day I will give my shirt to Aamir." 

Furthermore, former Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra also invited Aamir to watch the T20 semi-final in Mumbai in 2016.

According to media reports, Amir Hussain Lone lost his hands in an accident at the age of 8 in 1997, but despite this accident, he did not give up and started playing cricket with his legs.
