A total of 53 Pakistani players including Muhammad Amir and Muhammad Asif are in the line to be picked by various franchises for the tournament. The players’ draft will feature 196 foreign and 122 local cricketers.

The reports said that Muhammad Amir has signed a direct contract with Chittagong Kings.

The star all-rounder Shahid Afridi has already signed a contract with Sylhet while Shoaib Malik has done so with Comilla Victorians.

More Pakistani cricketers including Muhammad Hafeez, Ahmed Shahzad, and Yasir Shah are also engaged in talks with various franchises for direct contacts.

The 23-year-old Muhammad Amir along with Muhammad Asif and Salman Butt were penalized after they were found guilty of being involved in spot fixing during Pakistan-England Test series 2010.

Muhammad Amir was banned from playing competitive cricket for five years by the International Cricket Council (ICC) tribunal on February 5, 2011.

The ICC allowed three players to resume their international cricket career after September 1, 2015 but the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to take the players through a rehabilitation programme before they represent their respective domestic sides or even Pakistan in the field of cricket.

Unlike Muhammad Asif and Salman But, Muhammad Amir has already been appearing in PCB-organized domestic matches across the country.
