London, Mar 1 (UNI) Fast bowler Haris Rauf has been put forward as a ‘marquee’ player in the auction for The Hundred, alongside 13 other men from Pakistan. The list of players that will be sold at next week’s auction has been trimmed from the 712 men and 253 women that registered last month, with 247 men and 178 remaining respectively. Last week, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the eight Hundred teams issued a statement asserting no-one will “be excluded on the grounds of their nationality” after BBC Sport reported the four franchises with owners linked to the Indian Premier League (IPL) would not consider players from Pakistan.
