Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed becameSunRisers Leeds player after the bid of 190,000 (close toINR 2.34 crore)was acceptedduring theHundred Player Auction on Thursday.
Recently, the BBC had suggested that teams that are ownedby the same groups that run IPL franchises might not select Pakistani players.
In fact, four out of the eighthundred teams like MI London,SunRisers Leeds, Southern Brave and Manchester Super Giants are owned by the groups that also haveIPL franchises.But these rumours were clearedby SunRisers Leeds when they got Abrar Ahmed after the bidding war with Trent Rockets. The SunRisers franchise is owned in partby Kavya Maran.
The flagship 100-ball tournament of the England and Wales Cricket Board has moved on to another stage by holding its first-ever player auctions at the very heart of London. Joe Root has been the first player to be drafted by a franchise, the Welsh Fire, at a price of 240,000.
So far, the most expensive player to have been bought has been all-rounder James Coles, who was also bought by Welsh Fire for 390,000. Among the Pakistani players, two were left unsold, while Usman Tariq was the only one to secure a contract with Birmingham Phoenix for 140,000.
The franchise also brought Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who was bought for 100,000.
