MOHAMMAD AMIR can play against England this summer after being granted a visa.

The fast bowler had to stay at home as the rest of the Pakistan squad jetted to their UK base in Canterbury on Monday.

Mohammad Amir has been granted a UK visa to play for Pakistan against Ireland and England

Mohammad Amir took the wicket of Virat Kohli as Pakistan beat India in Champions Trophy final in the UK last summer

Amir, 26, was jailed for six months in the UK and slapped with a five-year ban from cricket for spot-fixing at Lord’s in 2010, meaning his application was delayed.

He was previously granted a visa to tour England in 2016 and played county cricket for Essex last year.

Amir is married to a British citizen and his son was born in London during last summer’s ICC Champions Trophy.

The left-armer will now travel to the UK on Wednesday to rejoin his team-mates.

Amir was previously granted a visa to tour England in 2016 and starred as Pakistan won at Lord's

Amir has collected 42 wickets at 26.26 in 10 Tests on British soil and starred as Pakistan defeated arch-rivals India at The Oval in the Champions Trophy final last June.

He will lead his side’s bowling attack with leg-spinner Yasir Shah and quick Wahab Riaz missing from the touring party.

Amir was jailed for six months and banned for five years after spot-fixing at Lord's in 2010

Pakistan play a Test against Ireland in Dublin on May 11 before two against England at Lord’s and Headingley, followed by two ODI’s in Scotland.

They kick off the tour with a match against Kent on April 28, before taking on Northamptonshire on May 4.

Amir is in the process of applying for an indefinite leave to remain visa which could allow him to acquire a British passport in the next five years.

I don't know about you guys, but Muhammad Amir applying for a British passport shows his priorities to me.

He only got himself to blame

 

[PakSarZameen]

And what are his priorities?

A player not even at the peak of his career yet has no business in applying for permanent residence settlements in other countries.

Who knows, one day we might lose him to a Kolpak deal? Or we might see him end his career quickly as he will have the rest of his life sorted in England anyway.

What if he’s doing it so that he doesn’t have to go through this visa hassle in the future

If it was some other player I would have believed it, Muhammad Amir doesn't have a great track record when it comes to being loyal to his country.

Aamir getting British passport? I guess he will sneak into IPL in near future.

IPL need to beg him to join these days. It's not 2009 anymore. He's a state of art finalist winner, will triple ticket revenue, good female audience puller too.

Hahaha. Nice reply.

I think after his retirement he will settle in England.
