February 25, 2026 · The Guardian

The ECB and all eight The Hundred franchises have jointly insisted the competition is inclusive and open to all following reports that Pakistani players might be frozen out by Indian-owned teams.

The England and Wales Cricket Board sent an email to teams warning against discrimination after reports suggested Indian-owned franchises like Manchester Super Giants and MI London might freeze out Pakistani players.

A joint statement from the ECB and all franchises now insists the competition remains inclusive.
