Why did Sunrisers buy Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed? Now coach breaks silence on Kavya Maran’s decision

Due to what happened this time in the auction of ‘The Hundred’, Sunrisers owner Kavya Maran has once again come into the news. In fact, Sun TV Network team Sunrisers Leeds created history by buying Pakistani leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed for Rs 2.34 crore (£1,90,000) in the auction of ‘The Hundred’. A new war has broken out among the fans on this issue.

Criticism of Kavya Maran and her team

Actually, Kavya Maran and her team are facing a lot of trolling on social media for including a Pakistani player in the team and spending huge money. Let us tell you that earlier it was being said that no franchise related to IPL will buy Pakistani players in The Hundred. But despite this, Sunrisers Leads has included Abrar in their team. This is why this whole controversy arose.

Big statement from head coach Daniel Vettori

Sunrisers Leeds head coach Daniel Vettori has given a big statement on this matter. Vettori said that the team’s first choice was England’s star spinner Adil Rashid, but when he was bought by another team in the auction, Sunrisers Leeds looked at the option of a foreign spinner and ultimately bought leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed for 1.90 lakh pounds (about Rs 2.34 crore). He said that Sunrise’s strategy from the beginning was to include a spinner in the team. ‘When we could not get Adil Rashid and he was bought by Southern Brave, then we focused on foreign spinners. We had four-five options and Abrar Ahmed was one of them. We are very happy to include him in the team.
