United Kingdom: Pakistan spearhead Mohammad Amir says playing in the ICC World Cup 2019 will be a dream comes true after he missed the previous two Cricket World Cup events following a ban for spot-fixing. The 27-year-old nearly missed out this time as he was left out of the initial World Cup squad, having taken just five wickets in the 14 matches before the recent one-day international series against England. Amir did not get to bowl in the first match against England at the Oval, which was ruined by the weather, and missed the last four games with a bout of chicken pox. The home side won the series 4-0. But selectors decided to include him in the final 15 for the World Cup in England and Wales. “It´s a dream THAT HAS COME true,” Amir told AFP ahead of Pakistan´s first match against West Indies at Trent Bridge on Friday. “Every cricketer dreams of representing his country in a Cricket World Cup so this is my chance. He said my goal is to take wickets and be a third-time lucky in England after winning the World Twenty20 and Champions Trophy, remembering Pakistan´s victories in England in 2009 and 2017. Amir said Pakistan had positive memories of playing in England, which they hoped to take into the ICC World Cup… Our success in the World Twenty20 was excellent and then the Champions Trophy the impression of those wins are with us and the amount of support we get in the United Kingdom is unusual, so naturally we will like to match those. People love the Pakistan Cricket team and come in huge numbers to support us. I can´t overlook the final of the Champions Trophy at the Oval (2017).
