IPL or PSL? Pakistani star Pacer Mohammad Amir reveals his first-choice league next year
Amir is preparing to represent Quetta Gladiators in the upcoming 10th edition of the PSL, planning a campaign against Peshawar Zalmi in Rawalpindi on April 12.
Star Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Amir expressed interest in playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) next year, provided he gained British citizenship before the start of the Pakistan Premier League season 10. Although this season is crucial to Quetta’s role, Amir’s candid comments have sparked discussions from fans and experts.
In an interview, when asked if he would choose an IPL or PSL game that overlaps next year, Amir honestly admitted that he would prefer the IPL if he had the chance. His decision is based on IPL’s broader appeal and profitable financial returns as it is widely regarded as the most competitive T20 alliance in the world.
Amir’s potential participation in the IPL depends on his ability to obtain British citizenship, which will determine whether he can register a local or overseas player under the league’s rules.
If PSL occurs in the same window as IPL and as a British citizen you are eligible for IPL, would you choose IPL? ” Amir was asked.
“Honestly, if I had the chance, I would definitely be in the IPL. I would say that publicly. But if I didn’t have the chance, I would be in the PSL,” Amir said.
