‘Fees paid to Pakistan players aid those killing Indians’: Sunil Gavaskar slams Abrar Ahmed signing by Sunrisers Leeds

Sunrisers Leeds' signing of Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed has caused controversy in India, with cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar calling on Indian-owned franchises to avoid signing Pakistani players. Gavaskar argued that payments to Pakistani cricketers indirectly fund the Pakistani government, which he views as a threat to India. The BCCI has stated it cannot intervene in decisions made by foreign leagues.
