Only four Pakistani players have been selected for “The Hundred.” In this, fast bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have been selected by the team of Wells Fire. At the same time, Ehsanullah, who made a splash in PSL 2023, has been given a chance by Oval Invisibles. Pakistan’s spin all-rounder Shadab Khan has been included in the squad of Birmingham Phoenix. While Shaheen Afridi and Shadab Khan are part of the 1-1 crore draft, Haris Rauf is included in the 60 lakhs and Ehsanullah 40 lakh draft.
