Mohammad Amir has joined the Nottinghamshire Cricket Club for the remainder of the ongoing Vitality T20 Blast 2026 season in England. Remarkably, the former Pakistan fast bowler has joined the club as a “local” player.

Mohammad Amir joins Notts Outlaws as local England player
Mohammad Amir is set to play the 2026 Vitality T20 Blast season for the Notts Outlaws team in England. The speedster will be representing the prestigious cricket club as a “local” player.
Not long ago, Amir received his British passport and he now officially holds British nationality. As a British passport holder, the speedster will not be counted as an overseas player.
The passport he acquired even makes him eligible to play the Indian Premier League (IPL) in India despite being a Pakistan-born cricketer.

The team have played the last three games really well, and I’ll be trying to help carry that momentum forward throughout the tournament.”

He has great energy and passion to play, having experienced all the highs and lows our game can throw at you.”
