Mohammad Amir Prefers IPL Over PSL If Schedules Clash, Says He’ll Choose Opportunity

Karachi: Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has once again stirred conversation by openly stating his preference for the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in case of a scheduling conflict between the two.

Speaking on a TV show, the Quetta Gladiators pacer was asked which league he would choose if their schedules overlapped. Amir responded candidly, saying, *”To be honest, if I get the opportunity, I would choose to play in the IPL, and I’m saying this openly.”*

He clarified that if the opportunity to play in the IPL does not arise, he will continue participating in the PSL. *”There’s a possibility I could get the chance to play in the IPL next year. If that happens, what’s wrong with that?”* he added.

Amir noted that he doesn’t believe the schedules of the two leagues will clash again next year, attributing this year’s overlap to the Champions Trophy preparations.

He also acknowledged that if he is picked for the PSL beforehand, he would not be able to withdraw, as doing so could result in a ban from the tournament.

It’s worth noting that Mohammad Amir, previously involved in a spot-fixing scandal, now holds British citizenship, which potentially makes him eligible for IPL selection in the future.
