According to the news, Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Amir will be absent from the first T20I match against Ireland, scheduled for May 10.
While the rest of the squad has already arrived in Ireland for the three-match series starting on Friday, Amir has yet to secure his visa for travel to the country. Following the series, the Men in Green will head to the United Kingdom for a four-match T20I series before the commencement of the T20 World Cup 2024.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is actively working with the Ireland Cricket Board to facilitate the issuance of the visa for Amir.
It’s worth noting that Mohammad Amir announced his return from retirement in March to resume playing for Pakistan in international cricket.
In the preceding month, the 32-year-old made his comeback to the national team after a four-year hiatus, featuring in the T20 series against New Zealand on home soil.
Subsequently, he was named in the squad for the upcoming T20 series against Ireland and England.
