The decision by Sunrisers Leeds to sign Pakistani mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed in The Hundred auction has sparked a major debate among cricket fans on social media. The franchise, owned by Sun TV Network, purchased Abrar for $255,000 after missing out on England star spinner Adil Rashid. However, the move quickly triggered backlash online, with many fans criticising the team and its leadership, including owner Kavya Maran, for the decision. The controversy even intensified after the official X (Twitter) account of the franchise was reportedly suspended amid the growing outrage. Responding to the criticism, head coach Daniel Vettori clarified that the decision was purely based on cricketing needs and not influenced by any nationality-related considerations. Vettori explained that once the team failed to secure Rashid in the auction, they shifted their focus to overseas spinners, with Abrar being one of several players on their shortlist. He emphasised that the franchise did not have any discussion about avoiding Pakistani players and instead focused on selecting the best available talent to strengthen their squad for matches at Headingley #abrarahmed #sunrisers #thehundred #pakistan #india #ipl #sunrisersleeds #danielvettori #cricket abrar ahmed daniel vetorri sunrisers kavya maran sunrisers account suspended abrar ahmed sunrisers controversy abrar ahmed in sunrisers the hundred auction pakistan india news india vs pakistan ipl srh sunrisers hyderabad usman tariq pakistan players pakistan players banned in ipl pak pakistani players t20 world cup abrar ahmed bowling usman tariq bowling viral sports cricket Visit https://thesportstak.com for lightning-fast live scores, special updates, highlights, and specific statistics of players and teams.
