The Hundred commercialized their tournament as several IPL owners came in to own many of the Hundred franchises. A total of four teams will be owned by IPL-based owners with partial stakes, which will raise about 500 million pounds for the ECB for cricket.
After the immense speculations that Indian owners might ask their franchises not to bid for Pakistani players, several of the Hundred franchises and the ECB issued a statement saying that no player should be excluded due to their nationality.
Thursday will mark 17 Pakistani men's cricketers as part of the auction for the upcoming season of the Hundred. This might include the fast bowlers Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi, alongside the spinner Usman Tariq.
"I haven't heard that they won't bid for them," said Adi Birrell on sidelining Pakistan players
However, when asked about whether Pakistani men's cricketers will get bidders from Indian-owned teams the next day, he simply said (as quoted by BBC), "I think so, but I don't know. I presume so. I haven't heard that they won't bid for them."
Why are Pakistan cricketers likely to be unsold?
Other than the Indian owners being a reason for Pakistani players being sidelined, several other sporting explanations also hold for their possible snub. One of the reasons could be their lack of form in international T20s and their flop show in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
Pakistan also have a Test series scheduled against the West Indies at the same time as this year's Hundred, potentially affecting player availability. These reasons might also contribute to the non-selection of these players, rather than an intervention from IPL owners.
