Mohammad Amir has registered for the Afghanistan Premier League draft as a British citizen after obtaining a British passport.

He is listed as a UK national in the Platinum category, with a $100,000 player fee, and Pakistan shown as his country of residence.

Because he is entered as a British player, he does not need a PCB no-objection certificate for the APL.
