Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Asif Ali has been included in the Pakistan’s World Cup squad, but Abid Ali, Faheem Ashraf, and Junaid Khan ruled out of the squad. Earlier, Pakistan Cricket Board announced 23 probables for World Cup 2019, but after announcing the preliminary 15-man squad it was a shocker. Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Asif Ali were not included in the 15-man squad, but after suffering from the series loss, Pakistan named them in the 15-man squad.

ICC World Cup 2019 is scheduled to be played from May 30 onward at England & Wales. Pakistan will play a warm-up match against Afghanistan on May 24 and Bangladesh on May 26, before an opening match against West Indies on May 31, 2019. Pakistan defeated in a series against England by 4-0, despite wonderful performance by the Pakistani batsmen. Pakistan will look ahead to work more on the bowling attack and the batting too, ahead of ICC World Cup 2019.
Clearly, Pakistan-led by Sarfaraz Ahmed is looking forward to bring back the team with a strong hold in bowling attack and the batting order. With Mohammad Aamir, Wahab Riaz and Asif Ali, the team gets a strong hold in the bowling attack.
