Amir said "By next year, I will have the opportunity to play in IPL and if given a chance then why not - I will play in IPL"

Mohammad Amir, the retired Pakistani fast bowler, expressed his interest in playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during an appearance on the show "Haarna Mana Hai." Amir stated, "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." This statement comes as Amir is nearing eligibility for the IPL, potentially through obtaining a UK passport, which would allow him to bypass restrictions on Pakistani players in the league.

Amir's enthusiasm for the IPL is driven by the competitive nature of the tournament and the opportunity to be part of a high-profile league. He also shared his admiration for Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli, recalling a memorable moment when Kohli gifted him a bat before a T20 World Cup match. Amir's potential participation in the IPL could be a significant development, with some speculating that he could strengthen a team like Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and help them win their first title.
