Mohammad Amir's British Citizenship Changes His Pakistan Super League Player Status
Mohammad Amir's acquisition of British citizenship has changed his status in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), where he previously played as a domestic player. Now classified as an overseas player for the 2027 PSL season, teams interested in signing him must include him in their foreign-player quota. This shift raises contractual questions since Amir was retained by Rawalpindi on a two-year deal covering 2026 and 2027. In English competitions, Amir remains a domestic player due to his British passport.
