Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has made it clear that he would choose the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Amir, who played 159 matches for Pakistan across formats, is hopeful of obtaining a UK passport, as his wife Narjis is a UK citizen. This would technically allow him to play in the IPL."Honestly, if I get the opportunity, I will definitely play in the IPL," the 33-year-old pacer told Geo News. "I am saying this openly. But if I do not get a chance, then I will play in the PSL. 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," he said.Amir, who last played for Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup, also mentioned that the IPL and PSL schedules are unlikely to clash next year."I do not think the IPL and PSL will clash next year because this year was primarily focused on the ICC Champions Trophy."If I get picked in the PSL first, then I cannot withdraw, as I will be bound by the tournament.

If I get picked in the IPL first, then I cannot pull out from that league as well. Now, it depends on which league I get picked in first. If the IPL auction happens first and I get picked, then I cannot withdraw and will not play in the PSL," he said.Amir's chances of playing in the IPL, however, hang by a thread in the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where more than 26 Indian citizens-mostly tourists-were killed.
