Fast bowler Mohammad Amir has been named in Pakistan's Test squad to face England in a four-match series starting next month, six years after he received a spot-fixing ban against the same opponents.

The 24-year-old is expected to receive his British visa in the next couple of days following a special request for leniency from the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Chief selector Inzamamul Haq said Amir would receive a visa.

"Amir is expected to get visa in the next couple of days and (Mohammad) Hafeez is also cleared by medical staff so we have included him," Inzamam told a press conference.
