Mohammad Amir's Overseas Player Status in PSL
Mohammad Amir was signed as a local player in the Pakistan Super League for two years.
But now, he's being considered a foreign player, which is causing some confusion.
The cricket board needs to decide if his current team can keep him as a foreign player, if they need to renegotiate his contract, or if he should be put back into the player pool for the next draft.
They haven't made a decision yet.
Mohammad Amir was initially drafted as a local player in the Pakistan Super League on a two-year deal.
He has been reclassified as a foreign player, creating a contract conundrum.
The PCB has not yet issued an official ruling on the situation.
Options include converting his existing contract to an overseas slot, renegotiating the agreement, or releasing him into the player pool for the next draft cycle.
The decision will impact both the franchise and the player's future in the league.
