Mohammad Amir Likely to Register for IPL 2027 Auction as British Citizen
Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir, now a British citizen, is likely to register for the IPL 2027 auction as a UK national. Having played in England's domestic T20 competitions as a local player, Amir's change in citizenship could allow him to bypass previous restrictions on Pakistani players in the IPL. He has also registered for the Afghanistan Premier League draft under his British nationality. His participation depends on franchise interest and IPL eligibility rules, following a precedent set by Azhar Mahmood.
