The development comes after the ICC confirmed it was investigating reports that Amir, despite the five year ban for spot-fixing, had played in an English Division One match in Surrey league.
The ICC ban on Aamir - and his Pakistani teammates Salman Butt and Muhammed Asif - bars him from participating in the game at any recognised level and his turning up for the English club side could be in breach of the ICC terms and conditions on his sanction.
The source said the ECB had told the PCB that they were also investigating the matter but had also asked the ICC for clarification on the exact conditions of the sanction as Amir says he was told by the club organisers it would be alright for him to play in the match.
When contacted, a senior official of the PCB said they were looking at the Amir issue but not taking it seriously.
"As far as we are concerned the ICC bans specifically states that a banned player cannot play in any event or tournament that is organized, sanctioned or approved by the home Board or its affiliated units," the official said.
