Pakistani players will not be discriminated against in selection for the Hundred, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Tuesday, despite reports they could be overlooked due to political tensions with India.

The BBC reported last week that the four Indian-owned franchises of the eight-team competition -- Manchester Super Giants, MI London, Southern Brave and Sunrisers Leeds -- were not considering Pakistani players for next month's auction.
