Pakistan’s fast bowler, Mohammad Amir, will not be travelling with the team to Ireland on Tuesday night due to visa issues, team management confirmed on Monday.
The team will depart for Dublin at midnight on May 7 as scheduled, meanwhile, Amir will depart on the first available flight after obtaining the visa.
The star bowler faced a similar situation during the tours of Ireland and England in 2018 also.
Amir recently made his comeback to international cricket during the home T20I series against New Zealand after he took back his retirement before the series.
Notably, Pakistan is scheduled to play three T20Is at Clontarf in Dublin on 10, 12, and 14 May 2024. All three matches will start at 3 PM local time.
The three-match away series, followed by four T20Is in England, will serve as a stepping stone for the Green Shirts to boast their preparations for this year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the West Indies and the United States of America (USA).
