Mohammad Amir Denies Plans to Enter IPL 2027 Auction Despite British Citizenship
Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir, now a British citizen, has registered for the Afghanistan Premier League draft as a UK national, sparking speculation about a possible entry into the IPL 2027 auction. This move follows a precedent set by Azhar Mahmood, who played in the IPL after acquiring British citizenship. However, Amir has publicly denied plans to participate in the IPL auction, clarifying that reports of his IPL registration are untrue. He continues to play domestic cricket in England as a local player.
