Former Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Amir has made a significant statement regarding his international career. According to a report by the Amar Ujala sports desk, Amir has made it clear that he will never play for Pakistan again. He stated that after receiving local player status in Britain, the chapter of playing for Pakistan is completely closed for him.

In his recent statements, Amir emphasized that he no longer has any connection with Pakistan. He now identifies himself as a part of Britain. This decision is being seen as the beginning of a new phase in his cricketing career.

However, despite the door closing on playing for Pakistan, Amir's association with cricket will continue. According to the report, he may participate in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as a foreign player. This status also allows him to play in other international leagues.

Amir's sights are now also set on the world's biggest T20 league, the Indian Premier League (IPL). After obtaining local player status in Britain, the path for him to play in the IPL could potentially open up. This move is being considered quite significant in the cricketing world.

Mohammad Amir's career has been full of ups and downs. He made a name for himself in international cricket at a young age but also had to stay away from the game for a long time due to controversies. Now, after settling in Britain, he is trying to give a new direction to his career.

There is a mixed reaction from cricket fans and experts regarding Amir's decision. While some are respecting his choice, others consider it a major loss for Pakistani cricket.

It will be interesting to see in the coming time whether Amir manages to secure a spot in the IPL or not. For now, he has made it clear that his future lies outside of Pakistan and he is ready to move forward with his new life.
