The speculations of Pakistan’s fast bowler Mohammad Amir eyeing on British passport are at its peak. The rumors of Mohammad Amir, who recently made an announcement of his Test retirement, interested in moving out to the United Kingdom are making rounds on social media.
A source close to the cricketer revealed:
“He is clearly planning to obtain a British passport and permanently settle down in England in the future. With a spouse visa, he can work freely and enjoy other benefits as a permanent resident of the UK which is why he is planning to also purchase a house in England,”
Meanwhile, a Pakistan journalist named Saj Sadiq took to his twitter and slammed all those who are making a big deal out of all this. He wrote:
“Don’t understand why some are making a big deal of Mohammad Amir applying for a British passport. He’s entitled to apply for it and it doesn’t mean that he will stop playing for Pakistan #Cricket”.

I guess preparing for asylum application.
His reason
“Because I called it a terrorist country my life is not safe in the country so I need asylum in UK with all the trimmings ie house , weekly allowance , free medical , 72 etc etc “
