3 teams that might target Mohammad Amir if he registers for IPL 2027 auction

Mohammad Amir can register in IPL 2027 auction as British national.

Mohammad Amir has been linked with the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2027 mini-auction after acquiring British citizenship in May 2026. The former Pakistan fast bowler could have been an interesting option for franchises looking to strengthen their pace attacks.

However, according to a report by Cricbuzz, Mohammad Amir has clarified that he will not register for the upcoming auction. He addressed the rumours in a post on X, writing, “Hi everyone just wanted to clarify news regarding IPL is not true.”

The IPL 2027 mini-auction will be held in Goa on December 16. Amir has said he will not enter the auction, but he could still be an option for teams if he changes his mind.

Here are three teams that might look to sign the experienced left-arm pacer if he decides to take part.

3 teams who might target Mohammad Amir if he enters IPL 2027 auction

1. Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

Chennai Super Kings could target Amir to add more experience to their pace attack. With Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Choudhary not being that big names, Amir could provide variety and add international experience.

His ability to swing the new ball could also help CSK in the powerplay. However, the team may need a specialist death bowler more than another new-ball option.

2. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

Kolkata Knight Riders could consider Amir if they want more depth in their fast-bowling attack. His left-arm pace and ability to move the ball could give KKR a great option in the powerplay.

However, with overseas pacers already in their setup, finding a place for another foreign fast bowler could be difficult.

3. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru could look at Amir to add another experienced left-arm pacer to their squad. He could support their pace attack alongside Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, especially with the new ball.

But RCB would need to weigh their overseas spot against their existing options, including Jacob Duffy and Nuwan Thushara.
