[PICTURES] Will we see any Pakistan players featuring in The Hundred (2025)?

[The Bald Eagle]

So in the first phase of The Hundred, no Pakistan player has been selected. So is this the result of ever-increasing Indian influence or the performance from Pakistan players are so shambolic to bar their participation in England's premium T20 tournament.

Although more players are to be picked in upcoming drafts, but the question remains whether any Pakistan players will be part of this tournament this year?

Yes Richard Gould has already clarified that the Hundred's IPL links will not impact the involvement of Pakistani players.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Usama Mir, Amir and Haris are all bang average according to The Hundred franchise may be

Haha but Pakistan players' horrible performance is enough to ensure they won't be selected in The Hundred

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Who would waste their money to ensure defeats for their side....only U19 guys from Pakistan have a chance

means Shahid Afridi can still make it to this tournament? lol

 

[Rana]

Can’t wait for the annual snub of RizBar by Hundred franchises

The traditional snub

 

[Rana]

100 balls to maximise

who wants a batsman that will make sure your team remains not out by playing 76 balls for 46 runs?

 

[deltexas]

Be honest. Who would want a foreign Pak player in their team ? You need to be the best of the best as foreign player quota. Who will take Riz babar Imam etc ?? They can get quality batters power hitters from Aus Sa WI NZ and even Afg. Same with bowling ? Who will take Shaheen, spray gun Rauf, et ? They can get so many bowlers from the 4 nations plus an array of spinners from Afg. Reality is none of the Pak players are good enough. No proper work ethic, no fitness standards, timid batting - why will any league team take them ??

Babar and Rizwan once again go unpicked in the Hundred draft

That’s 4 snubs in a row @Major

 

[Local.Dada]

Not being picked for a useless tournament like the hundred is blessing for Pak players .
Play a red ball tournament of Pak A vs Pak B or something.

I hope unless retired or over the hill. No Indian cricket participates in this tamasha too.

Only 1 tamasha allowed- IPL

Which Pakistani cricketers have. Even picked by 100

Does Sarfaraz or his fans like to tell people that he has an ICC award for being the best T20 player in the world????

 

[Rana]

I can name 2 players who have never been picked no matter how hard they have tried…

 

[Bhaijaan]

Not that i care, it’s a B grade tournament and an abomination. But i guess Saim, Haris, Shaheen would be good contenders to be picked.

 

[Local.Dada]

I don’t think so I have ever seen @Rana or @mominsaigol come up with a squad that they think is good. I know they love and hate some players but will be good to see some detailed lists we can review too

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar is like Keyser soze. That is the greatest trick he has ever pulled is convincing the world that he is the best T20 player in th world.

naa, @mominsaigol bro does give his list. I think he himself has gotten tired of sharing that list

 

[Hellion]

Pakistani cricketers don't need useless abominations like The Hundred to ruin.

Useless English players got smacked out of the Champions Trophy with 3 losses Why would anyone even want to play this low quality English white ball tournament ?

Champions One Day Cup and PSL is enough to develop players and much better quality than the so called "Hundred" .

England will give minnow teams super belt treatment every time more than other big teams Ind, Nzl, SA, Aus. They will just out bat minnows out of the game.

It's more about the financial incentive. Pakistani players are not lucky enough to play the IPL. If they played the IPL they probably wouldn't need to play any other league in the world like Australians.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

So no Pakistani players??

Don't lose your hope. They have wild card picks at the bottom for 31000 pounds

 

[jnaveen1980]

I woul dplay for 1000 pounds. Nice change of atmosphere.

 

[Local.Dada]

which teams are minnows according to you?

Here is my categorization

Elite teams- India. Aus, England (despite on field performances, because of their structure, quality of players etc)

Top tier- SA, Nzl

Upper mid tier- Pak

Lower mid-tier- WI, Sl, Bangladesh, Afghanistan (due to red ball. In white ball they are upper mid tier)

Lower Tier- Zim, Ireland

Lowest tier- Scotland, Netherlands, Namibia

Associates- USA, Canada,Nepal, UAE

Minnows- everyone else.

That money is for his star value. It is only 75000 pounds.

 

[Hellion]

Babar and Saim are better T20 batters than Williamson at any rate.

Unfair imo

 

[saimayubera]

When are the teams being renamed?

SA20, MLC, ILT20, CPL all have IPL specific names

Are you kidding? Please tell me this is a joke.

England is struggling due to them being in a weird endless transition phase that their unable to come out of. They have the right intent but the talent pool isn't living up to it's potential except for Ben duckett.

Once the likes of Morgan, Roy, Bairstow, root, stokes, archer, Plunkett, butler etc etc either retired or fizzled out in odi cricket their new talent didn't live up to the mark.

Meanwhile Pakistan has the opposite problem. In terms of talent pool their struggling especially their pace bowling unit drying up the most but their batters minus saim and fakhar just don't want to play modern era cricket under any circumstances.

Players like imam, Babar, Rizwan, Abdullah, etc etc are players you would typically see in the 1970's freqently getting mauled by West indies?

What are they doing in 2025? How is this even legal?
