Former Pakistan superstar Mohammad Amir has revealed that he wants to play in the Indian Premier League next year. Aamir said that he will get British citizenship soon and with this he will be able to play in IPL.
After Aamir’s words, discussions about Pakistani players playing in IPL were also active in cricket circles.
Aamir is now saying that Indian fans and many Indian players want to see Pakistani players play in IPL. He said these things in an interview.
“There are many fans who want Pakistani players to play in the Indian Premier League. Some Indian players also want this. But they can’t open up,’ Aamir said.
In an earlier interview with ARY News, Aamir opened up about his desire to play in the IPL. He said that he wants to play IPL but will not play for England team.
“First of all, I will not play for England. I played for Pakistan. Secondly talking about IPL it is still a year away. What will be the situation at that time… I always say to go step by step. We never know what will happen tomorrow.
I think about playing IPL in 2024. I don’t even know where I’ll be a year from now. No one can tell anything about the future. When I get my passport… whatever the best opportunity is, I will make the most of what I get,’ Aamir said.
Pakistani players have disappeared from the IPL following the deterioration of diplomatic relations between the two countries. In the first season of IPL, Pakistani players including Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi played for many teams. It is only after 2008 that BCCI decides to keep the Pakistani players out.
But even after this, Azhar Mahmood, the Pak all-rounder, was a part of the IPL. Mahmood was able to play in the IPL because he had a British passport. Fans are looking forward to see if Aamir will also be a part of IPL.
