Pakistan left-arm seamer Mohammad Amir has vowed to give it his all after he was included in the finalised World Cup squad.

Amir was drafted into the squad along with fellow left-arm pace bowler Wahab Riaz and big-hitting middle order batsman Asif Ali.

Amir was initially left out of the squad when it was announced last month.

The 27-year-old has been in dismal form since the conclusion of the Champions Trophy in June 2017 as he has taken five wickets in 15 matches at an average of 92.60.

While he was picked for the first ODI against England, he didn’t get the chance to bowl as the match was abandoned due to persistent rain.

He didn’t feature in the last four matches in the series as he was suspected to be suffering from chickenpox.

“Allhamdulilah, humbled and proud to be part of the Pakistan World Cup squad,” he said on Twitter. “InshAllah going to give 100 percent and we all will try and make our nation proud. Thank you all for your support and endless duas we all need them more now.”

Pakistan will play two World Cup warm-up games against Afghanistan and Bangladesh in Bristol and Cardiff on May 24 and 26 respectively.

They will then begin their World Cup campaign against the West Indies in Nottingham on May 31.

Pakistan’s World Cup Squad: Sarfraz Ahmed (c), Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Imad Wasim, Haris Sohail, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Hasnain
