I would consider it only as bad news for the Pakistan team. Just before the start of the world cup, they lost of one their major fast bowler., Naseem Shah as he is injured.

Although we know about Muhammad Amir as he is also a good bowler however i do not know if he is in the form or not. I haven't seen him play for the Pakistan team for a long time. Yes, he has got the pace and he is sort of a furious bowler like Shoaib Akhtar, but I do not know if he could be successful on the pitches of India.

Muhammad Amir career from Pakistan is very much over, currently he has got UK residency and is settled there. There are few options to replace Naseem Shah like Muhammad Hasnain, Hassan Ali and Shahnawaz. I think Muhammad Hasnain is a good option as he has got pace and can be effective on Indian pitches.

So what is the official news then? Will Muhammad Amir represent Pakistan in this World Cup or will the PCB will look for other options?
No matter who they play with, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi bowling was one of the best fast bowling attack but now I guess Afridi has to find a suitable partner who can keep the pressure at the other end.

I did not see any of the official news from PCB regarding the replacement of Naseem Shah. Rumors around say the name of Amir but despite selecting him they should move toward the rest of their bowlers. The World Cup is starting in a few days and the Pakistani team has still not announced the names of their players. Or maybe Naseem will be fit for the World Cup and maybe his injury is not a huge one.

This is a very good gesture by Muhammad Siraj. Only a few people think for others and this initiative may compel more crickets to donate their money to the ones (grounds men etc) who work day and night to make ground arrangements for all these matches to take place.

I like these things in the cricketers they make money by playing cricket and donating them to the poor. I saw a lot of cricketers doing this and a live example of this is Shahid Afridi a former captain of the Pakistan team. He is now helping the poor people and providing them the basic needs in Pakistan.
