Mohammad Amir To Play For Knight Riders In CPL 2025; Joins Pollard, Russell And Pooran
Pakistan’s seasoned left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir has officially joined the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) for the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025. His selection came during the CPL draft held on June 18, and it marks another chapter in Amir’s eventful T20 franchise journey.
Trinbago Knight Riders, one of the most successful franchises in CPL history, have already built a formidable squad. Before the draft, TKR had retained six power-packed players — Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Narine, Akeal Hosein, and Alex Hales. With the inclusion of Mohammad Amir, along with Colin Munro, Ali Khan, and Usman Tariq, the side’s bowling strength looks bolstered and well-rounded for the upcoming season.
Other valuable additions include experienced Caribbean names like Darren Bravo, Joshua Da Silva, and Yannic Cariah, making TKR one of the most balanced squads going into CPL 2025.
🔥 Mohammad Amir: Franchise T20 Stalwart
Amir continues to be a highly sought-after player in global T20 leagues. Since his international retirement, he has plied his trade across various franchise leagues, becoming a consistent performer. His CPL journey started in 2021, and he has already represented Barbados Royals, Jamaica Tallawahs, and Antigua and Barbuda Falcons before signing with the Knight Riders.
In 39 CPL matches, Amir has bagged 51 wickets, consistently proving his value both with the new ball and during death overs. With a total of 381 wickets in 331 T20 games globally, his experience adds immense value to the TKR bowling attack.
🏆 TKR Eye CPL Glory Again
TKR last won the CPL title in 2020, and they fell short in 2024, losing the Eliminator. Under the captaincy of Kieron Pollard, the team now boasts a strong core of all-rounders and experienced campaigners. With Amir now in the mix, their bowling unit gains the added skill and versatility to challenge any side.
Expectations will be high, and fans can anticipate some explosive matchups when TKR take the field in CPL 2025. With Pollard, Russell, Pooran, Narine, and now Amir in the lineup, the Knight Riders look ready to reclaim their title.
