Even though Mohammad Amir has been going through an extremely rough patch in recent months, he still has the potential to turn games around on its head with just one good over. This was seen during the ICC Champion's Trophy 2017 in England where he helped Pakistan win the trophy.

Amir’s bowling has usually not worked well in Pakistani and UAE conditions, but he has managed to do better in English and Australian conditions in the past. Furthermore, Pakistan is lacking a spearhead in their lineup who can lead the line-up, and Amir can do just that if required.

We will find out if Amir should have been picked for the World Cup or not at the conclusion of Pakistan’s series against England during the next month.
