Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir may get to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) if he applies for British Citizenship. Amir confirmed that his kids are going to receive their education in the United Kingdom and he will certainly spend a lot of time there.

Pakistan cricketers are currently banned from IPL. Earlier, Azhar Mahmood participated in the IPL after holding British citizenship. He was part of the Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and Kolkata Knight Riders franchise. 

When asked about his future plan in an interview, the 29-year-old said he is going to play for another 6-7 years and would see how things unfold.

"At the moment I’ve been granted indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom. I’m enjoying my cricket these days and plan to play for another 6 or 7 years so let’s see how things go," Amir told Pakpassion.net.

"My children will grow up in England and receive their education there so no doubt I will be spending a fair amount of time there," he further replied.

"At the moment, I've not really thought about the other possibilities and opportunities available and how things will turn out when I receive British citizenship in the future," Amir further added.

Amir had cited 'mental torture' as the reason to quit international cricket in December 2020. He represented Pakistan in 36 Tests, 61 ODIs, and 50 T20Is.
