Harbhajan Singh risks international retirement by entering The Hundred player draft

A day after it emerged that he was the only Indian cricketer in the draft of The Hundred, veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Friday made it clear that he will withdraw his name from the Players Draft from the newly-launched tournament and will continue to play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Harbhajan’s name was included in The Hundred draft in the list of the players whose base price was GBP 100,000. The BCCI rules don’t allow active Indian cricketers to play in the foreign leagues.

As per BCCI protocols, no male cricketer is allowed to compete in T20 leagues abroad unless he has announced his retirement from international cricket.
