Fourteen Pakistani Players Shortlisted for Men's Hundred Auction Amid Shadow Ban Concerns

Fourteen Pakistani cricketers, including Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi, have been shortlisted for the upcoming Men's Hundred auction on March 12. This follows concerns over a potential 'shadow ban' linked to IPL-affiliated teams, which the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and franchises have denied, emphasizing selection based on performance and availability. The initial longlist of 63 Pakistani players was narrowed down amid scrutiny. In the women's category, two Pakistani players are listed, though none have yet competed.
