Mohammad Amir to join Pakistan squad in England: PCB

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday announced that left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Amir will join the team in England following the birth of his second daughter last week.

Amir had initially pulled out of the tour as the dates of the T20Is supposedly clashed with the birth of his second child.

The PCB also said that on the request of the team management, they have agreed to send Mohammad Imran, a masseur at the National High Performance Centre, to England.

Both Amir and Imran underwent COVID-19 tests on Monday and require two negative tests to be eligible to travel to the United Kingdom. If their first tests return negative, they will be moved to a bio-secure environment in Lahore where their second tests will be conducted on Wednesday, with the expected departures over the weekend, said PCB in a media release.
