Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has said he is keeping his options open about playing in the Indian Premier League, fuelling speculation after he became eligible through his British citizenship. The 34-year-old retired from international cricket after the 2024 T20 World Cup. Amir confirmed he will play in the Pakistan Super League as an overseas player from 2027 but remained non-committal on the IPL. His British citizenship, obtained through his wife, allows him to play as a local in English domestic competitions and register as a British overseas player in franchise leagues worldwide. He currently plays for Trent Rockets in The Hundred as a domestic player.
