Talking in the TV show “Harna Mana Hai”, the Pakistani fast bowler said, “My opportunity is being made till next year, why not get the opportunity?” I will play IPL. “
When the show’s host Tabish Hashmi asked Aamir how he would feel if he was criticized in Pakistan? On this, Aamir said without naming anyone, “Pakistani players were prevented from playing in IPL, but some of our former cricketers were commenting and some teams were also coaches.”
His gesture was former Pakistani captain Wasim Akram, who was the coach of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and was on the Rameez Raja, who commented in IPL.

Aamir also praised Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and told that during the T20 World Cup in 2016, Kohli gifted him his bat. He said, “Virat is a great player and appreciates talent. He gifted me his bat and I was very happy with this. I am a fan of his batting and he praises my bowling. “
Aamir further said that if he gets a chance to play in IPL, he would like to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Former Pakistani cricketer Ahmed Shehzad, who was present in the show, said, “RCB needs bowlers like Aamir. His batting is good, but his bowling has always been his weakness. If Aamir plays for him, RCB can win the IPL Trophy for the first time. “
