Can Mohammad Amir register for IPL auction? Former Pakistan player eyes Indian Premier League after switching nationality
The move could remove the need for a Pakistan Cricket Board clearance and widen his franchise options, with 462 players shortlisted for the draft.
- Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir clarified on Friday that he will not enter the Indian Premier League 2027 auction, ending widespread speculation about his potential participation as a British national.
- Speculation emerged after Amir registered for the Afghanistan Premier League draft as a British national, prompting reports he might seek an IPL bid using his UK passport.
- Clarifying his stance on social media, Amir wrote, "Hello, I would like to inform everyone that the news regarding the IPL is not correct." He also posted on Instagram: "ALL news of the IPL is fake."
- Although former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood played in the IPL between 2012 and 2015 as a UK-based player, Amir's explicit denial has effectively ended any potential entry into the tournament.
- Having retired from international cricket in 2024, the 34-year-old pacer continues to focus on franchise cricket, competing in the T20 Blast and The Hundred rather than pursuing an IPL career.
