In the recent player draft for England’s cricket tournament, The Hundred, Pakistani speedster Naseem Shah has emerged as a standout. His exceptional talent has catapulted him into the ranks of The Hundred’s priciest players.
Birmingham Phoenix has welcomed Naseem Shah into their fold, securing his services for a hefty 125,000 pounds. This makes him the inaugural Pakistani cricketer to command such a high price tag, translating to an impressive 4.5 crore rupees in his home currency.
The Hundred has also opened its doors to other Pakistani cricket stars. All-rounder Imad Wasim and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi have been drafted into the tournament. Trent Rockets have roped in Imad Wasim for 100,000 pounds, while Welsh Fire has enlisted Shaheen for the same amount, marking his second consecutive season with the team.
In addition, Welsh Fire has retained the services of Haris Rauf from the draft, and Manchester Originals have held onto Usama Mir, further bolstering the Pakistani presence in The Hundred.
