Michael Vaughan has called for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to take action following reports that four IPL-linked teams will not be considering Pakistani players for their teams in The Hundred.

The ECB sold their 49% stake in each of the eight teams participating in The Hundred before the start of the 2026 season and now half of the teams in the tournament are at least part-owned by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises. Three of those teams, Manchester Super Giants, MI London, and Sunrisers Leeds, have also been rebranded to bring them more in line with their counterparts in other franchise leagues.
