Former Indian batter Sunil Gavaskar reflected on the Sunrisers Leeds franchise buying Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed at the auction table of The Men's Hundred. The team is owned by the Sun TV network, which is the owner of the IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad as well.
Sunil Gavaskar was seen sitting on a guest panel of a Pakistani cricket show during the 2025 Champions Trophy, alongside former Pakistan captains Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram. He has, for the first time, found himself at the receiving end of a controversy.
Responding to criticisms, Gavaskar said, “Yes, I have been on commentary panels of ICC and ACC. The revenue went to all the participating countries from the ICC and ACC, but not from an Indian entity, as far as I know."
Sunil Gavaskar asks Indian owners to release Pakistani players from their teams in other franchise leagues
Not only in The Hundred, but also Pakistan players have featured in former T20 franchise leagues like the Caribbean Premier League and the Major League Cricket in the West Indies and America, respectively.
“I don’t follow the CPL, ILT20, or SA20, so I am not aware who is playing for whom. Yes. If there are Indian owners and they are paying Pakistani players, then hopefully they will stop doing that. I don’t know about other sports and what they are doing. All I am praying for is that Indians stop paying Pakistanis. If you have noticed, the reverse has never happened for decades, if ever,” the Indian legend pointed out.
Gavaskar had earlier tagged Indian owners anti-nationalists for investing in India's destruction
Sunil Gavaskar had formerly claimed that the money paid to these cricketers would be collected in the form of taxes by their government, and they would be using that money to fund the buying of weapons that could lead to the deaths of thousands of innocent lives in India.
