No Pakistani Players Among the 541 Shortlisted for SA20 2025–26 Auction


As the SA20 league prepares for its fourth season, the final auction shortlist includes 541 players, yet not a single Pakistani cricketer has been named.
The 541-player shortlist was trimmed from over 800 registrations—the highest entry pool in the league’s history. It includes 300 South Africans and 241 overseas players, but no Pakistanis. This marks another edition of the SA20 without any Pakistani representation—continuing a pattern since the league began.
Despite approximately 40 Pakistani players reportedly having registered, none made the final cut. The lack of selections is widely believed to be influenced by political complexities, though there's been no official word from the organizers on this.
This absence continues to raise questions within Pakistan’s cricketing community, especially given the international demand for its star T20 players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Shadab Khan, and others known for their global appeal.
