“The PCB has been officially informed that the UK Government has approved the visa for Muhammad Amir,” said a statement issued on Thursday.
The 24-year-old pacer, who will travel with the national team on June 18, was believed to face impediments in his visa application due to his conviction for spot-fixing in 2010.

He was sentenced for six months in a young offenders’ institute in England.
Amir was subsequently slapped with a five-year ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his involvement in corruption. He made a comeback into the national side after his ban was over in September last year.

Since then, the pacer has become an important part of one-day and T20 sides for Pakistan.
Now, Amir will attend the 25-day conditioning camp and practice games arranged for the squad prior to the commencement of the Test series in England next month.
