The Pakistani player who scored the most runs in the T20 World Cup 2026 did not find a place in this list.

Delhi: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has made it clear before the auction of the upcoming The Hundred tournament that fairness will be maintained in the selection of any player.

The ECB and all the franchises jointly said that the basis of selection will be only performance, availability and strategic needs of the team.

A total of 710 players had registered for the men’s auction, of which 63 Pakistani players were included in the initial long list. Franchises were asked to limit the number of their preferred players to around 75 to 100. After this the list was reduced to 243 players, in which 14 Pakistani cricketers have got a place. These include Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shadab Khan, Usman Tariq, Saim Ayyub, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Aamir, Zaman Khan, Usama Mir, Imad Wasim, Akif Javed and Salman Mirza.
