Pakistan cricket team is going on a tour of Ireland and England as a preparation for T20 World Cup. Babar Azmara will play the series against the Irish first. However, playing in this series is uncertain pacer Mohammad Amir. The Pakistani pacer has got into visa complications.
The Pakistan team is scheduled to reach Ireland on Wednesday (May 8) morning. But Amir remained in the country. This left-handed pacer has not received a visa yet! The news was reported by the cricket-based media ESPN Cricinfo.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said Amir’s visa was applied for along with the entire team. The day before the trip, the others got their visas, but Amir did not. Even the visa of Mohammad Yusuf of the coaching staff was delayed a bit. But he also got it before leaving.
PCB tried to resolve Amir’s issue. They are communicating with Ireland. However, even if Aamir gets a visa, there is a big doubt about whether he will be able to participate in the series.
This visit to Pakistan is very short. They will play a three-match T20 series in five days. The series starts on Friday. It is impossible to get Amir’s visa during this period. So the doubt about Amir’s game is so strong.
Pakistan will play a four-match T20I series in England after the tour of Ireland.
