ISLAMABAD – Pakistani bowling line is under fire as English team chaseddown the massive 358 runs target with 31 balls to spare.

Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has demanded the inclusion of speedsterMohammad Amir into the World Cup squad, as he believes that the bowlingattack is working without its leader.

“Pakistan does not have a strong spin and fast bowling department, so Ibelieve that Amir should be included in the World Cup squad, because thereis no leader of the pack of this [Pakistani] bowling line,” said Raja.

However, Amir’s inclusion is not highly probable after it was learnt thatthe speedster has contacted chickenpox. It was further reported that Amiris present in London with his family and not with the Pakistan team.
