Amir back in Pakistan limited-overs squads
FAST bowler Mohammad Amir is back in Pakistan’s Twenty20 and one-day international squads — provided he can get a visa for New Zealand.
Amir’s five-year ban from international cricket for spot-fixing ended in September but the left-arm quick needs clearance from authorities in New Zealand because he also served three months in an English jail for taking bribes to bowl no-balls at agreed times. “On his international comeback, Amir will travel with the team subject to grant of visa by the New Zealand government,” chief selector Haroon Rasheed said in a statement yesterday. Pakistan is scheduled to play three Twenty20s and three ODIs, starting from January 15, in New Zealand. It will be its last Twenty20 series before the World Twenty20 tournament in March. The selectors also recalled Umar Gul to assess the fitness of the fast bowler ahead of the tournament in India.
