Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has rejected reports suggesting he is likely to enter the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2027 auction using a British passport, describing the circulating claim as “Fake news” in an Instagram story.
The reports gained attention after Pakistani digital media outlet The Current published a post claiming that Amir could participate in the IPL 2027 auction on the basis of a British passport. The report, attributed to Indian media, sparked speculation about the former Pakistan international’s potential involvement in the Indian cricket league.
However, Amir responded to the speculation through his verified Instagram account, @official.mamir, sharing a graphic featuring the IPL logo and the words “Fake news.”
His response directly challenged the reports suggesting a possible IPL auction entry through a British passport. The Instagram story did not provide further details or an extended explanation of the claim.
The Current’s social media post described Amir as a former Pakistan pacer and presented his potential participation in the IPL 2027 auction as a likelihood. However, the post attributed the information to Indian media rather than presenting it as an officially confirmed development.
Amir’s response has added a new dimension to the discussion surrounding his reported participation in the tournament. While the original report suggested a possible route for his entry into the auction, the fast bowler’s public reaction indicates that he disputes the claim.
The speculation has also drawn attention to the distinction between media reports and confirmation from the player concerned. Amir’s Instagram story is a direct response to the circulating claim, but it does not establish any further details about his future participation in the IPL.
As of the information available in the social media posts, there is no confirmed announcement regarding Amir’s entry into the IPL 2027 auction.
The controversy centers on the claim that the former Pakistan fast bowler could use a British passport to enter the auction. Amir has rejected the report as fake news, leaving the speculation without confirmation from the player.
