Organizers warn Indian-owned cricket teams in The Hundred not to freeze out Pakistani players

Organizers and teams competing in The Hundred said Tuesday that the cricket competition was “inclusive" and "open to all” after claims Indian-owned franchises could freeze out Pakistani players. The England and Wales Cricket Board and all eight teams issued a joint statement after the BBC reported that Manchester Super Giants, MI London, Southern Brave and Sunrisers Leeds would not consider any Pakistani cricketers at The Hundred auction in March.
