Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir is eyeing an Indian Premier League (IPL) contract in 2026 and stated he would love to explore if an opportunity comes. The 33-year-old, who has retired from international cricket for Pakistan, twice, currently plays franchise cricket all around the globe.
Pakistan players were a huge hit in the first edition of the IPL in 2008. However, political differences between the two countries led to Pakistani players being banned in the IPL from 2009 onwards.
Notably, Mohammad Amir’s wife Narjis is a UK citizen and the left-arm pacer is believed to have applied for an UK passport, which will open the doors for him to play in the IPL.
“Next year tak meri opportunity ban rahi agar hua to kyu nahi (By next year, I will have the opportunity to play in the IPL and if given the chance then why not). I will play in the IPL,” said Mohammad Amir ‘Haarna Mana Hai’ show.
