Harry Brook says it would be “a shame” if players from Pakistan are excluded from The Hundred.
Sources told BBC Sport that Pakistan players may not be considered by the four Indian-owned teams at the auction. Brook, who has signed for Sunrisers Leeds, said Pakistan has some of the best players in the world and they deserve to feature.
Sixty-three men and four women from Pakistan have registered. A senior official from the England and Wales Cricket Board suggested interest in Pakistan players could be limited to teams not linked to the Indian Premier League.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan also urged the ECB to act quickly, saying excluding players based on nationality should not happen.
