Former England captain Naseer Hussain would like to see cricketers from Pakistan in the second season of The Hundred.
The Hundred is a 100-ball format launched by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was held last year for the first time.
Pakistan’s pacers Mohammad Amir played for London Spirit and Wahab Riaz in Welsh Fire were the only two Pakistanis in the inaugural edition. Shadab Khan and Shaheen Afridi couldn't play due to commitments with the Pakistan cricket team.
The draft of the second season will take place at the end of March 2022, and Naseer is hopeful to see more Pakistan players in the tournament.
"The way to improve the Hundred is with players. I would also love to see a couple more Pakistan players come over," Naseer told Sky Sports.
"I think their white-ball cricket has gone through the roof so people like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, get them over as the interest among the British Asian community is growing. Try and add big names, that should be the direction of this tournament," he concluded.
