ECB insists Pakistan players won't be excluded from The Hundred

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and all eight teams have issued a joint statement confirming the competition is inclusive and open to all. This comes in response to reports suggesting Manchester Super Giants, MI London, Southern Brave, and Sunrisers Leeds might not consider Pakistani players at the auction.

Franchise owners have firmly denied claims of discrimination, emphasizing their commitment to welcoming players from all backgrounds.
