Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sources told TelecomAsia that Abrar is not worried or worried about this controversy.
Sunil Gavaskar had criticized the purchase of Abrar Ahmed by Sunrisers Leads. They believe that this money will also go to the Pakistan government, which will be used against Indians only. Although Pakistan Cricket Board and Abrar have maintained silence on this controversy, but according to sources the inside story has come to light. According to the report, Abrar and PCB are not worried because this matter is between the ECB and the franchise.
PCB sources told TelecomAsia.net that the reaction coming after the purchase of Abrar Ahmed by Sunrisers is not surprising as it was probable. But Abrar is not at all worried about this controversy.
Quoting sources, the report said, “Abrar had registered his name in The Hundred League so that he could show his skills to the world. He is among the top-3 bowlers in the T20 International rankings, that is why he has been bought by the team and he deserves it.” Sources also said that Sunrisers Leeds coach Daniel Vettori spoke to Abrar Ahmed after the auction and asked him to stay in constant touch and be ready to give his best performance.
After the auction, Vettori had said, “We did not buy Adil Rashid, he was our first choice. After this we started looking for a foreign spinner. We had an eye on 4-5 players, in which Abrar was also included. We are happy that we bought him.
Earlier, the ECB had warned the franchises that if it is proved that any player was ignored in The Hundred auction on the basis of his nationality, disciplinary action can be taken against them.
