ISLAMABAD: The team selectors have dropped fast bowler Muhammad Aamir from the 15-member World Cup squad scheduled to take place in England, sources informed Geo News on Thursday.

Junaid Khan is selected in place of Aamir. However, the selectors have conditioned fast bowler's inclusion in the World Cup squad with his performance in ODI series against England.

The team is scheduled to depart for England on Tuesday, April 23.

Pakistan will play their first World Cup match against West Indies at Trent Bridge on May 31, after playing warmup matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
