Fast bowler Haris Rauf has been put forward as a ‘marquee’ player in the auction for The Hundred, alongside 13 other men from Pakistan.<\/b><\/p>\n
The list of players that will be sold at next week’s auction has been trimmed from the 712 men and 253 women that registered last month, with 247 men and 178 remaining respectively.<\/p>\n
Last week, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the eight Hundred teams issued a statement asserting no-one will “be excluded on the grounds of their nationality” after BBC Sport reported the four franchises with owners linked to the Indian Premier League (IPL) would not consider players from Pakistan.<\/p>\n
Rauf, 32, is listed among the first 10 men that will be auctioned and has the highest possible reserve price of \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n
The 14 representatives from Pakistan in the men’s auction is the third-most from an overseas country, behind 19 from South Africa and 18 from Australia.<\/p>\n
In the women’s auction there are two Pakistan players – Sadia Iqbal and Fatima Sana – cut from four initial nominations.<\/p>\n
The auction for the women’s Hundred takes place on Wednesday, 11 March, with the men’s auction the next day.<\/p>\n
Following the publication of the initial list of players, franchises were asked to nominate which players they would potentially be interested in.<\/p>\n
A player only required a nomination from one team in order to be included in the final auction list, although the list of nominations from each team has not been published.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
