Paceman Mohammad Amir has received his first Pakistan call-up since completing a five-year ban for spot-fixing.

The 23-year-old, who also served time in prison in the UK for the deliberate bowling of no-balls during a 2010 series against England, has been named in Pakistan's Twenty20 squad for the upcoming tour of New Zealand.

Amir's selection, which was announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board, is subject to the fast bowler being granted a visa to enter New Zealand.

The series begins on January 15 with the first of three T20s before the sides play three one-day international matches.
