Pakistan paceman Amir joins Kent for T20 Blast

Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has agreed to join Kent for the second half of the English county's Twenty20 Blast campaign this season.

Amir will be available for seven of Kent's group stage matches and will have an option to play in the knockout rounds if they qualify.


The 29-year-old won both the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy with Pakistan before retiring from all forms of international cricket in 2020.

He had earlier been handed a five-year ban for his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal in the series against England in 2010 for his actions as a then-19-year-old.

Amir's first match could be against Essex at Chelmsford on June 25.

"I am excited to join a Kent team full of potential," Amir said.

"I have always enjoyed playing at Canterbury and I hope I will be able to help Kent win a trophy this year."

UK rental fraud could cost landlords £4.1bn as fake tenant identities grow more sophisticated

  • Suspected rental fraud could expose the UK's private rented sector to £4.1 billion in annual losses.
  • Fake employment references rose 226.6 per cent in 2025.
  • London and high-value rental properties recorded some of the highest fraud rates.

Fraudulent tenancy applications could expose the UK's private rented sector to £4.1 billion in direct financial losses each year, according to an analysis of more than one million tenant references by Goodlord.

The referencing platform found 41 suspected fraudulent applications for every 1,000 references between July 2025 and June 2026. That was below the peak of 46.6 per 1,000 recorded in late 2024, but remained well above historical levels.
