Karachi: Pakistan chief selector Haroon Rasheed has heaped praise over disgraced Mohammad Amir, describing him as an 'extraordinary' player, after the fast-bowler received clearance from the PCB over his selection in the national squad for the forthcoming tour against New Zealand.

Earlier, Rasheed had said that they were mulling to include the 23-year-old in the squad after receiving a green signal from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
