This is the first time Amir would be a part of the World Cup squad, having missed the 2015 extravaganza after being suspended from all forms of cricket following his involvement in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal.
Looking to make up for lost time, the 26-year-old has said that it would be a dream come true for him to don the green of Pakistan at the World Cup.
“It’s a dream for any cricketer to play in the World Cup,” he said. “It will be my first World Cup and I will try to do my best. It’s like a dream come true. Representing your country and playing in a big ICC tournament, one has to be lucky for all this and I consider myself just that.”
Talking about how important it is to remain fit to participate in the the World Cup, Amir said: “Players prepare for two to four years to play in such a big event but then get injured just before the tournament. We have a good rotation policy and that’s why I’m well prepared for the tournament.”
And on his aims for the mega event, Amir said: “It’s such a big event. First of all I wish Pakistan win and then that I should be the best bowler in the tournament.”
