PDMA says that district administrations across Punjab have been informed regarding this weather situation.

According to PDMA Punjab DG Irfan Ali Kathia, there is also a fear of damage to standing crops due to the storm.

Mohammad Amir’s participation in the series was in doubt due to the delay in the visa process by the Irish government. After that they were issued visa following clearance.

Don’t look at our bowling combination, Mohammad Amir

After the visa is issued, Mohammad Amir will be able to participate in the series, but it seems difficult for him to be included in the first T20 match tomorrow.
