Mohammad Amir has joined the squad as a replacement for Australian fast bowler David Payne, who is no longer part of the team's plans for the upcoming season
LONDON: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 10th, 2026) Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has been signed by Trent Rockets for the 2026 edition of The Hundred, strengthening the franchise's pace attack ahead of the tournament.
Mohammad Amir has joined the squad as a replacement for Australian fast bowler David Payne, who is no longer part of the team's plans for the upcoming season.
The left-arm pacer will feature as a domestic player rather than an overseas signing after obtaining a British passport, making him eligible to occupy a local player slot under the competition's regulations.
The development is expected to provide Trent Rockets with greater squad flexibility while adding the experience of one of the most accomplished T20 bowlers.
Reacting to the announcement, Amir expressed his excitement over joining the franchise in a brief post on social media platform X, saying he was looking forward to representing Trent Rockets in the upcoming edition of The Hundred.
The Hundred 2026 is expected to feature several leading international and domestic cricketers as franchises continue finalising their squads ahead of the tournament.
