'It's For League In England, This Is Franchise's Own Decision: Rajeev Shukla On Sunrisers Leeds Signing Pakistan Spinner In The Hundred

Indian Premier League: Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajeev Shukla has clarified that the Indian cricket governing body has no say in the acquisition of Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed by franchise Sunrisers Leeds in the Hundred Auction, saying the move pertains to an overseas league and not the Indian Premier League (IPL). Speaking on the matter, Shukla emphasised that the decision lies entirely with the franchise involved, as the signing and the matter are linked to a league outside India. Look, this is their own decision because this is not our league. This has not been done for the IPL; it has been done for a league outside India. It is entirely their own decision. There is some league in England for which they are doing this, Shukla told IANS The move to sign Abrar by the Indian-owned Sunrisers Leeds didn't go down well with the fans, who took to X to criticise the team's owner and the franchise, terming them anti-national. Due to the backlash, the team's X account was also suspended for a brief time, but now it has been restored. Sun TV, which also owns Sunrisers Hyderabad and Sunrisers Eastern Cape, completed its acquisition of the franchise previously known as Northern Superchargers by buying a 49 per cent stake from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the remaining 51 per cent from Yorkshire for about 100 million pounds last year. Earlier reports suggested IPL franchise-owned teams would avoid bidding for Pakistan players, and the early stages of Thursdays auction appeared to support that expectation till Abrar was picked. No Pakistan player has featured in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since 2009, and IPL franchise owners who have invested in franchise T20 leagues worldwide have generally avoided signing cricketers from the country.

'Shame On You SRH': Fans React After Kavya Maran's Sunrisers Leeds Sign Pakistan's Abrar Ahmed For The Hundred

After Kavya Maran: After Kavya Maran's franchise Sunrisers Leeds bought Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed for 190,000 pounds (Rs 2.3 crore) on Thursday in the inaugural mens Hundred auction, the decision drew backlash from many Indian supporters on social media. Abrar became the first Pakistani international signed by an Indian-owned franchise in the tournament. Leeds acquired Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed for 190k. Abrar was literally used to mock India with the having tea picture and used to mock Indian players with unwanted celebrations in Asia Cup. Shame on you SRH, an X user write on X. The purchase for Abrar, who came with a base price of 75,000 pounds, came after Sunrisers Leeds, owned by Indian media group Sun TV, prevailed in a bidding contest with Trent Rockets at the auction shortly before the lunch break happened. Sun TV completed its acquisition of the franchise previously known as Northern Superchargers by buying a 49 percent stake from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the remaining 51 percent from Yorkshire for about 100 million pounds. Sunriser Leeds picked Abrar Ahmed for 1,90,000. He is the same Abrar Ahmed, who never gets tired of mocking Indians with that Tea Cup gesture. I don't know what to say but one thing is clear all agenda & propoganda of British media against Indian owners was baseless! The conglomerate also runs Sunrisers Hyderabad (IPL) and Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SA20) teams. Earlier reports suggested IPL franchise-owned teams would avoid bidding for Pakistan players, and the early stages of Thursdays auction appeared to support that expectation till Abrar was picked. No Pakistan player has featured in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since 2009, and IPL franchise owners who have invested in franchise T20 leagues worldwide have generally avoided signing cricketers from the country. The ECB said last month that selections in the auction would be based solely on cricketing performance, availability, and the needs of each team. Nine Pakistan players have appeared across the competitions first five seasons, though none of the female cricketers from the country were picked in the womens auction on Wednesday. Playing against is totally different from paying the players who mocked India during Operation Sindoor, an 'X' user wrote on X. What's the point of outrage on this when BCCI has played against the same player 3 consecutive times in the last Asia Cup which happened immediately after Operation Sindoor? Also, the team isn't owned by SRK so it will be forgotten as well, another X user wrote. Playing against is totally different from paying the players who mocked India during Operation Sindoor, an 'X' user wrote on X.
