LAHORE: Fast bowler Mohammad Amir has been granted a visa to travel to New Zealand, immigration officials said on Thursday.

 “Immigration New Zealand (INZ) can confirm that a visitor visa has been approved for Mohammad Amir to travel as part of the Pakistan Cricket Team set to tour New Zealand this month,” INZ Area Manager Michael Carley said in a statement.

“In making this decision, INZ considered factors including the support of the New Zealand and Pakistan Cricket Board and that Mr Amir had served his sentence for his previous actions.

“Taking into account all the circumstances and with full understanding of the purpose of his visit, a visa has been approved for Mr Amir.”

Pakistan will play three T20 and three one-day international matches on the tour, which starts on January 15.
