Sunrisers are facing severe backlash following the franchise's decision to sign Abrar Ahmed in The Hundred auction on Thursday. The Pakistan spinner was picked for £190,000 (₹2.3 crore) by Sunrisers Leeds. Ahmed is the first Pakistan player to be signed by an Indian-owned team in the tournament.
Amid the uproar, BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla on Friday said the Board cannot intervene as the signing is related to a foreign league and the franchise will have to take a call.
"It is not in our domain (IPL), they have done it for some foreign league. They will have to take a call; we cannot do anything," Shukla told ANI.
The signing has sparked backlash on social media against Sunrisers Leeds co-owner Kavya Maran, with critics pointing to alleged remarks by the 27-year-old spinner mocking the Indian Air Force and Army during the period surrounding the events of Operation Sindoor in May last year.
