New Delhi, March 13 -- Amid the uproar over Pakistani cricketer Abrar Ahmed being signed by Sunrisers Leeds in The Hundred auction, 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.

Speaking to ANI, Shukla said, "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."

Sunrisers Leeds bought the leg-spinner for £190,000 (US$255,000) during the inaugural men's Hundred auction in London, making him the first Pakistan player to be signed by an Indian-owned team in the tournament.

The signing has sparked backlash on social media against Sunrisers Lee...
