Humbled Mohammad Amir keen on giving his 100% in the World Cup 2019

After losing the five-match ODI series to England by 4-0, Pakistan decided to bring back Mohammad Amir in the World Cup squad. Inzamam-ul-Haq, the chief selector, announced the final 15-man squad for the mega event as Pakistan made three changes to the preliminary side. Amir’s inclusion though looked inevitable after the way the bowlers were taken away for plenty of runs by the English batters on flat pitches.

The 27-year-old wasn’t the part of the provisional squad announced last month. However, Amir was given a last chance to prove his mettle in the England series and picked in the extended squad for the tour. Unfortunately, the pacer fell ill ahead of the second ODI after the first game was washed out and never recovered. He was down with the suspected chicken pox and many felt that his dream to play the World Cup will vanish again.

But as his luck had it, Mohammad Amir had to be recalled after the inexperienced bowling attack conceded more than 1400 runs in the four matches.

We will try and make nation proud

Elated with the inclusion in the World Cup squad, Mohammad Amir took to his official Twitter handle to express his happiness and felt proud to be part of the team. “Allhamdulilah, humbled and proud to be part of the Pakistan WC squad InshAllah going to give 100% and we all will try and make our nation proud, thank u all for ur support and endless duas we all need them more now. #pakistanZindabad,” his tweet read.

Moreover, Mohammad Amir has also fully recovered from his illness now and is expected to join the squad on May 22 in Bristol. The two warm-up matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh will be crucial for him now and prove his match fitness.

Along with Amir, Wahab Riaz and Asif Ali have also been included in the final squad and the fans will now be hoping that they win the World Cup for Pakistan this time around.

Here’s Amir’s tweet:

Allhamdulilah, humbled and proud to be part of the pakistan WC squad InshAllah going to give 100% and we all will try and make our nation proud, thank u all for ur support and endless duas we all need them more now. #pakistanZindabad
