A total of 45 players from Pakistan, including capped internationals and uncapped talents, had registered their names for The Hundred 2025 draft, but none of them found takers in the drafting process on Wednesday (March 12).

The registrations from Pakistan included their recently announced T20I captain Salman Ali Agha alongside some seasoned pros in Naseem Shah, Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan. The Hundred, however, had not seen a great deal of Pakistan representation earlier.

Usama Mir (13 matches), Haris Rauf (12 matches), Imad Wasim (10 matches), Mohammad Amir (6 matches), Shaheen Shah Afridi (6 matches), Mohammad Hasnain (5), Zaman Khan (5), Shadab Khan (3 matches) and Wahab Riaz (2 matches) are the Pakistan players to have played in the league.

Apart from Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and retired Wahab Riaz, the other six stars had registered themseleves for the Draft, but did not ignite any interest among the eight franchise. Here is a look at the list of players from Pakistan registering for the draft:

Why The Hundred teams ignored Pakistan players?

According to a report in Wisden, the Pakistan players may have been overlooked due to the investment arriving from the Indian Premier League (IPL) owners. Earlier this year, four IPL franchise owners bought stakes in The Hundred teams.

ECB chair Richard Gould had asserted last month that the participation of Pakistan players would not be affected despite the IPL investment coming into The Hundred. But a broken relationship between Pakistan players and IPL owners, hinted that the ban could be expanded even to The Hundred from IPL and SA20.

It has to be noted that all six teams in South Africa's SA20 are co-owned by IPL franchises, and not a single Pakistan player has featured in the league so far. Pakistan players featured in IPL 2008, but since the Mumbai terror attacks of 2008, players from Pakistan have not been allowed to play in the league.

While this theory does make sense, there is also a chance that there could have been fears of players unavailability due to international commitments and also a chance that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) could deny No Objection Certificates (NOC) to their players for participating in The Hundred in August.
