Mohammad Amir’s Potential British Passport Acquisition
Amid the news of Mohammad Amir’s potential acquisition of a British passport due to his marriage to a British citizen, fans are speculating about his possible involvement in the Indian Premier League (IPL). At present, Pakistani players are barred from participating in the IPL, but the passport may open up new doors for Amir.
Amir’s Relocation to the UK
In 2020, Amir relocated to the UK and is still one year away from being eligible for a British passport. This has led to a resurgence in speculation regarding his potential debut in the IPL. Recently, the former Pakistani fast bowler himself has commented on the matter.
Amir’s Thoughts on His Future
“I have one year. I don’t know what the scenario will be. I always take things step by step. I don’t know where I will be after a year. Nobody knows the future. When I get the passport, I will definitely take advantage of the best opportunity I get,” Amir told ARY News.
Pakistani Players in the IPL
It is worth noting that Pakistani players participated in the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008. However, since then, no Pakistani players have been allowed to take part in the league.
Conclusion
With Amir’s potential acquisition of a British passport, it remains to be seen whether he will be allowed to participate in the IPL. If he is eligible, it could open up a new avenue for Pakistani players to take part in the league.
