Mohammad Amir Gains British Citizenship, Denies Plans for IPL 2027 Auction Entry
Mohammad Amir, former Pakistan fast bowler, has acquired British citizenship and registered for the Afghanistan Premier League draft as a UK national. This change allows him to play as a local player in English domestic leagues and could make him eligible for the IPL 2027 auction. However, Amir has denied plans to enter the IPL auction, clarifying that reports suggesting his participation are untrue. His British citizenship removes the need for a Pakistan Cricket Board No-Objection Certificate, potentially broadening his franchise cricket opportunities.
