Shah Rukh Khan signs two Pakistani stars for Trinbago Knight Riders


Bollywood superstar and Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan has made headlines by drafting two Pakistani cricketers according to The Current. Reports say Mohammad Amir and Usman Tariq are potentially being signed into his Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) squad for the upcoming 2025 Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
- Mohammad Amir, the left-arm fast bowler with extensive CPL experience, has taken 51 wickets in 39 matches, making him a seasoned T20 campaigner.
- Usman Tariq, a promising off-spinner who impressed in PSL 2025 with 10 wickets in five matches, is set for his CPL debut this season.
These selections come amid persistent political tensions—while Pakistani players continue to be barred from the IPL, they remain eligible for franchises like TKR in other leagues.
What this means for TKR
- Bowling reinforcement: Amir adds depth with proven death-bowling skills; Tariq bolsters spin options.
- Talent pipeline: Tariq's involvement highlights TKR’s confidence in nurturing emerging talent.
- Franchise inclusivity: SRK's international portfolio—including KKR, LA Knight Riders, and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders—now embraces Pakistani stars, showcasing a global outlook.
By adding Mohammad Amir and Usman Tariq, Shah Rukh Khan’s Trinbago Knight Riders are making a bold statement in the CPL—and demonstrating cricket’s power to unite. These signings are already resonating with fans and promise to add significant firepower to TKR’s bowling arsenal this season.
