Mohammad Amir has publicly dismissed reports suggesting he plans to register for the IPL 2027 auction as a British citizen. The 34-year-old left-arm pacer took to X on November 2, 2026, to state that the rumors surrounding his IPL registration are not true, clarifying the situation ahead of the player auction scheduled for December 16 in Goa.

Speculation intensified after Amir listed the United Kingdom as his country of residence for the Afghanistan Premier League draft.
