Two Players from the Pakistan Cricket Team Bag Deals in The Hundred Auction

The Hundred Women's Auction didn't go well for the Pakistan cricket team. But in the men's auction, two Pakistani players have been able to find teams to play for in the upcoming season. These stars include Abrar Ahmed and Usman Tariq, who have shone with their spin in the T20 format.

The Hundred Men's auction has also been completed, and it saw some key players of the Pakistan cricket team being unsold. Even after all the drama behind the auction, two Pakistani players have been able to find teams in this tournament. Fans are now eagerly waiting for the season to begin to see how they are able to perform.

Key players such as Shaheen Shah Afridi had already had their names removed from the auction list right before it was about to begin. For this reason, fans must have also noticed that Shaheen Shah Afridi’s name was not present in the auction table. But several other Pakistani players had their names being called out, and only two of them found bids for them.

Abrar Ahmed has been picked by Sunrisers Leeds in the auction for £190,000, and Usman Tariq was also picked by Birmingham Phoenix for a whopping total of £140,000. Before that, several Pakistani players such as Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan also went unsold in the auction.

Our Take

Several Pakistani players participated in the Hundred Auction, but only two of them have been able to find teams in the same. What's more interesting is that both of them are spinners who have done well in the shortest format of the game. Usman Tariq has come out to be a late bloomer in the T20 format, and he has now bagged a massive deal in the auction.

Abrar Ahmed continues to shine with his impressive spin bowling skills. With both players making their debut in the tournament, it remains to be seen how they will be able to perform for their respective teams. Will their performances be worth it on the English pitches or not? This still remains a question.
