Sixty-seven players from Pakistan are among those to have registered for next month's Hundred auction, though England Test captain Ben Stokes has not signed up.
Sources have told BBC Sport Pakistan players are not being considered by the four Indian-owned sides for the auction, which will take place on 11 and 12 March.

"The most inclusive sport in the country is not one that allows this to happen," he said.
