The former fast bowler for Pakistan, Muhammad Amir, has stated that he will be able to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) starting in 2026. This comes as Amir is working to obtain a UK passport, which would enable him to get over the restriction on Pakistani players playing in the IPL. No Pakistani players have participated in the league since the ban was put in place in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
During his illustrious career Mohammad Amir represented Pakistan in 36 Test matches, 61 ODIs, and 62 T20Is. Following a second stint with the national squad, he announced his retirement from international cricket in December 2024. Amir's wife, Narjis, is a UK citizen, and he is hoping to secure a British passport, which would enable him to participate in the IPL, this route has been used by other players such as Azhar Mahmood, who played in the IPL using his British citizenship.
Amir's potential participation in the IPL has generated significant interest particularly among fans and teams looking to bolster their bowling lineups. Ahmed Shehzad, a former Pakistan teammate believes that Amir could be a game changer for the Royal Challengers Bangalore RCB suggesting that his inclusion could help the team win its maiden IPL title. Amir has expressed admiration for Virat Kohli, who gifted him a bat during the T20 World Cup in 2016, and he has mentioned that he would be honored to play alongside Kohli in the IPL.
While Amir's eligibility to play in the IPL is based on his potential UK citizenship, there could be backlash in Pakistan if he decides to participate.Despite the prohibition on players, Amir has recognized the idea, pointing out that numerous former Pakistani cricket players have participated in the IPL as coaches or commentators. It's unclear, though, how Pakistani cricket fans and the community would respond.
Amir's involvement might be a landmark event for India-Pakistan cricket relations as he gets ready for a possible 2026 IPL debut. International talent has been shown in the IPL, and Amir's participation may help close the divide between the cricket populations in the two countries. But how Amir handles such criticism and if he signs an IPL contract will determine his future.
While Indians calling him, he is so greedy about Money as below
