Kavya Maran of Sunrisers Hyderabad acquired Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed for The Hundred tournament, raising concerns about his NOC from PCB due to a conflicting Test series schedule.
In the recent players' auction for England's franchise league The Hundred, Indian franchise Sunrisers Leeds acquired Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed for 190,000 pounds. This decision has sparked debate in India, particularly as Kavya Maran, the CEO of Sunrisers Leeds, was present during the auction. The acquisition has drawn criticism towards Maran, with concerns regarding political implications due to the purchase of a Pakistani player. Rajeev Shukla, vice-president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), clarified that the BCCI has no jurisdiction over the matter, indicating a separation of league actions from national cricket governance.
