The Hundred is going to start from July 21 and now Mohammad Aamir has also entered this league. This player will play for Trent Rockets as a local player. Aamir has previously played for London Spirit, Oval Invincibles and Northern Superchargers in The Hundred. However, now the names of these teams have changed. Meaning Trent Rockets will be Aamir’s fourth team in The Hundred. Initially Aamir was not going to play in The Hundred 2026 but David Penn got injured and after this suddenly Aamir entered the Rockets. Trent Rockets fast bowler Matt Henry is also out of this tournament, he is also injured.
Why is Aamir no longer a foreign player?
Let us tell you that like IPL, only four foreign players can be included in the playing eleven in The Hundred, but Mohammad Aamir Will be considered a local player in this tournament. Actually this player got British citizenship only a few months ago. Aamir’s wife is a British citizen and the former Pakistan fast bowler had applied for a British passport a long time ago. Now he will play as a local player. Aamir can now register himself as a British player in IPL 2027 also. It is difficult to say whether he will do this or not but Azhar Mahmood has done this before him. Azhar Mahmood is a former Pakistani cricketer who later became a British citizen and after that he played for Kings XI Punjab.
Aamir’s poor record in The Hundred
Mohammad Aamir may be one of the best bowlers in the world but his figures in The Hundred are very bad. This player has taken 6 wickets in 8 matches in The Hundred so far. Last season he was able to take only one wicket in 2 matches. However, good performance will be expected from him this season. Mohammad Aamir is a big name in T20 cricket. He has taken 430 wickets in 368 matches. In which his economy rate is only 7.37 runs per over.
