LAHORE: Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has become a British citizen after the UK government issued him a passport.

Amir represented Pakistan in 36 Tests, 61 ODIs, and 62 T20 internationals. His wife, Nargis Khan, is already a British citizen.
With his new status, Amir has also become eligible to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a British player.
