Can Mohammad Amir register for IPL auction? Former Pakistan player eyes Indian Premier League after switching nationality
Amir said the IPL 2027 reports are false after his APL draft registration as a UK national raised questions about his eligibility.
- Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir confirmed he will not register for the IPL 2027 auction, explicitly dismissing widespread speculation on social media. "Hello, I would like to inform everyone that the news regarding the IPL is not correct," he wrote.
- Amir's registration for the Afghanistan Premier League draft as a UK national sparked the speculation, as his recently acquired British citizenship opened potential pathways into the IPL.
- Precedent exists: former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood played in the IPL between 2012 and 2015 while holding a British passport, representing Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders.
- Boasting 271 international wickets, the 34-year-old pacer remains focused on franchise cricket as a local player in England following his 2024 international retirement from Pakistan.
- The APL draft takes place today, Tuesday, November 3, in Dubai, with 462 players shortlisted across draft categories; Amir is listed in the Platinum category as a UK national.
