Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir may not be able to leave with the national team for the three-match T20 series in Ireland on Tuesday morning due to visa issues. A reliable source at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said that while the rest of the squad had received their visas for Ireland, there was a delay in Amir's case due to the prison sentence he had served for the 2010 spot-fixing scandal.” Due to the 2010 spot-fixing case and his subsequent jail term and ban, his visa is still being processed,” the source said.
He said the PCB also faced a similar problem in 2018 when Pakistan went to Ireland and England but Amir was later granted a visa.
“We are hopeful that he will get his visa within a day or two and that he can join them later,” he said.
