US EditionHaris Rauf among marquee names for men's Hundred auction
Fourteen Pakistani players, including Haris Rauf, are on the trimmed 243-player longlist for the inaugural men's Hundred auction amid concerns over IPL-linked teams' bidding decisions.
- Next week in Piccadilly, London, the men's Hundred auction will call out Haris Rauf among the 10 marquee players on March 12.
- Last month the ECB's longlist showed 710 registered players, including 63 Pakistan players, with teams asked to narrow to around 75–100 names by last week.
- Included on the circulated 243 men's players list are 14 Pakistan players, including Rauf, who previously played two seasons in the Hundred with Welsh Fire, taking 16 wickets.
- Reports said four teams with IPL links would enforce a 'shadow ban', prompting scrutiny, and the England and Wales Cricket Board and the eight franchises said selections will be based on 'performance, availability, and the needs of each team'.
- The Hundred runs from July 21 until August 16 this year, and Pakistan tour the Caribbean for a Test series during the Hundred window, though their white-ball specialists need PCB No-Objection Certificates.
