Pakistan’s kit for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland was confirmed on Thursday.

The Men in Green took part in a broadcast photoshoot where they were seen wearing the same kit which was used during the previous series against New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir's participation in the three upcoming T20 matches against Ireland is doubtful since he is yet to receive a visa, Geo News reported on Wednesday.

The Men in Green have reached Ireland for the series, starting from May 10 but Amir is still in Pakistan.

As per details, if Amir's visa is not secured by Thursday, he will have to link up with the team in Leeds on May 15 for the T20Is series in England. The seasoned fast bowler had played a Test in Ireland back in 2018.

Meanwhile, no alternative player has been lined up to replace Amir if he misses out on the matches.

His potential absence has disrupted Pakistan's World Cup preparations, given his crucial role in the squad.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is actively engaging with Cricket Ireland regarding Amir's visa situation. All players, including Amir, had their visa applications processed immediately after the Kakul camp, but anxiety has gripped the PCB headquarters as Amir's visa approval remains pending.
