The controversy surrounding the participation of Pakistani players in The Hundred has intensified, as recent reports highlight potential legal implications for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). According to The Guardian, the potential exclusion of Pakistani players could breach UK laws on discrimination, exposing the ECB to significant legal risks. This concern arises amidst the ECB's commitment to inclusivity, which they reiterated in a joint statement with The Hundred franchises, emphasizing that selection will be based on performance and team needs, not nationality. However, the financial influence of Indian-owned franchises raises questions about the integrity of this commitment.
