Disgusting.. Absolutely disgusting

Pakistan Test squad: Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), Mohammad Hafeez (subject to fitness), Shan Masood, Sami Aslam, Azhar Ali, Younis Khan, Asad Shafiq, Iftikhar Ahmed, Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Yasir Shah, Zulfiqar Babar, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Rahat Ali, Sohail Khan, Imran Khan

Amir got his visa then?

Not sure how Ifitikhar keeps getting picked.

Jimmy was all over Masood in Uae so good luck to him in England.

Let's hope Amir gets his visa

No news about his visa yet. Having spent time in a UK prison normally makes it very tough to get one but this is international sport and if India can give him one then it should be no problem here.

Tbh, the only reason I'll watch this is if he plays

Who is Iftikhar?

Some board member son, son in law, nephew or rent boy

No brainer that he would be included from the playing side... All other players got their visas on Friday but apparently additional documents were requested for Amir.... He will find out on tuesday

Desperate to see him get the visa - going to plenty of games this summer would be pointless without him

I don't see it being an issue. Hope he has a thick skin though, I would imagine the England players and fans getting on his back.

Amir appears to have really matured during his ban. I am sure he will handle everything and will continue the process of earning back respect as he has been doing since ever he has returned.

Ramadan Mubarak lads

Ramadan kareem
Amir will get the Visa today / tomorrow but definitely gonna face booed by English Media and crowd... When he starts taking wickets... That pak squad looks decent - esp on the bowling front

Ramadan Kareem lads.

9.30pm ish you can break...... sorry but

But great discipline

As if kash can hold a fast for 20 hours working in his uncles mini-market... Soft lad.

You know the Taxi jokes are coming next...

Anyway - all the best lads. I got 2 months before mine starts. Summer has to be the worst time to fast

Takes a lot of courage and will power whenever it's done;

Latest on Amir:

English media - Amir was released from jail on Feb 1, 2012. according to rule he will be eligible for UK entry only after 5 years... cannot apply for a visa for 5 years after his release. So that would be Feb 2017.

Pak media - - -reports for Geo News that visa request for Muhammad Aamir has been approved. Details on Geo, shortly.

Noo idea what's going on

English Media v Pak Media

So no one has a clue.

Is it too early in the fast to crack some "cold glass of Water" jokes?

AMIR HAS GOT HIS VISA


Game on, come on get in there!!!
