Mohammad Amir plays in three T20 leagues in one week as PCB withholds NOCs for top cricketers

Mohammad Amir has had an intense schedule recently, participating in three different T20 competitions in under a week.

After representing Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024, Amir played five games for the Derbyshire Falcons in the T20 Blast.

His stay in the UK extended when the Oval Invincibles recruited him for their opening match in The Hundred 2024 against Birmingham Phoenix. Originally, Spencer Johnson was slated to join the Invincibles, but his commitments with Major League Cricket led to Amir’s inclusion for a single game.

 Amir excelled, delivering 10 dot balls in his 15-ball spell and taking two wickets for seven runs, contributing to the defending champions’ strong start.

After his one-match deal in The Hundred, Amir travelled to Canada to join the Vancouver Knights in the Global T20 Canada.

He made his debut just two days after his performance in London but was dismissed for a duck when the Knights batted first. He bowled two overs, conceding only seven runs, though the Toronto Nationals chased their target with more than five overs to spare.

In his second outing for the Knights, Amir picked up a wicket while conceding 24 runs in four overs against the Bangla Tigers Mississauga.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has denied No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to other Pakistani international players, including Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, preventing them from participating in the GT20.
