Kavya Maran recently acquired full ownership of the Leeds-based franchise in the Hundred. The franchise signed Abrar Ahmed for £190,000, roughly ₹2.3 crore, during The Hundred auction. The move sparked major outrage on social media, forcing Sunrisers Leeds to temporarily deactivate their accounts.
“The furore created by the acquisition of a Pakistani player by the Indian owner of a franchise in The Hundred is hardly surprising. Ever since the Mumbai attacks in November 2008, Indian franchise owners have simply ignored Pakistani players for the IPL," Gavaskar wrote.
Following the Mumbai attacks in 2008, IPL franchises avoided signing Pakistan players. The Pulwama attack and the recent Pahalgam terror attack further strained relations between the two nations. Recently, the BCCI even directed the Kolkata Knight Riders to release Mustafizur Rahman.
