Cannot display image in ion-select

I cannot seem to display images in ion-select. Is this supported in v4? If not, how can I do it so that I can display ion-avatar that contains images in the ion-select-option.

My html code:

<ion-select [(ngModel)]="this.selectedCountry"  okText="Select" cancelText="Cancel" (ionChange)="getSelectedCountry(this.selectedCountry);">
<ion-select-option value="worldwide"> <ion-avatar style="height: 30px; width:30px;"> <img src="assets/icon/globe.png"></ion-avatar>  Worldwide</ion-select-option>
</ion-select>

Hi its possible please check this code

Here’s an answer I posted on Stackoverflow, in case anyone is interested.
