Hindustan Surkhiyan Desk: Chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq Monday included Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Asif in Pakistan’s final 15-player squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz join batsman Asif Ali in the final World Cup squad as Junaid Khan, Faheem Ashraf and Abid Ali are the players left out.
“The bowling unit during the England ODIs has not clicked as anticipated or expected; if we have at our disposal two vastly experienced pace duo of Amir and Wahab, then it will be foolish not to include them,” says Inzamam
