In a major embarassing moment for Pakistan cricket, not a single Pakistan cricketer was picked during The Hundred 2025, as all 45 registered players went unsold.
Around 45 Pakistan players had registered for the draft — a mix of seasoned stars and emerging talents — none of the eight franchises showed interest in them.
Pacer Naseem Shah entered The Hundred 2025 draft with the highest reserve price among Pakistan players—£120,000. Former Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim and left-hander Saim Ayub had set their base price at £78,500.
The list also included Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali, and Mohammad Hasnain, each carrying a £63,000 reserve price, while Mohammad Amir and Azam Khan’s base price was £52,000.
However, none of the Pakistan cricketera could find a buyer as Franchisee opted not to pick any of them
Meanwhile, David Warner, Georgia Voll and Jamie Overton were three of the biggest names to be selected in The Hundred 2025 Draft.
Australia’s Georgia Voll was the first pick in the women’s competition, while Jamie Overton went first in the men’s competition.
Australian opener David Warner will join Overton and Justin Langer in calling Lord’s their new home. England all-rounder Paige Scholfield enjoyed The Hundred Draft, returning to Oval Invincibles in the top bracket at £65k.
Overton and Warner will both be involved in the competition opener, alongside Kane Williamson, a local derby against Oval Invincibles on Tuesday, 5 August.
Voll, fresh off the back of an unbeaten 99 in the Women’s Premier League and a stellar year that’s seen her make her international debut, will join fellow Australians Ellyse Perry and Megan Schutt at Edgbaston.
Other names to be picked up included Heather Knight, Rachin Ravindra, David Willey, Deandra Dottin, Noor Ahmad and Sophia Dunkley.
They join a host of international and England superstars already selected for the competition, including Steve Smith, Hayley Matthews, Kane Williamson, Beth Mooney, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Jos Buttler.
In total, 66 players were selected in The Hundred Draft, with the 16 men’s and women’s squads now almost finalised.
