Left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir has started consultations with his lawyers to assure his comeback in the national team next month.
"He is busy consulting his lawyers and wanted some time off to discuss with them the legal hitches he might face if selected to play for Pakistan again," said a source close to Amir, quoted by Press Trust India.

"He wants to ensure that whenever the national selectors decide to give him a chance, there are no problems when applying for visas to countries like India, England and Australia where visa rules are stringent for Pakistani nationals,” added the source.
The move comes as the national selectors hinted towards Amir’s participation in the national conditioning camp in Lahore later this month, in preparation for the tour to New Zealand in January.
