The Hundred draft, which concluded on Thursday, saw no takers for star players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Trent Boult and Kieron Pollard. While some of these decisions were tactical, others were governed by the availability of players.
Nonetheless, the draft saw as many as 30 picks for the men's team. After the group stages of the Vitality Blast, the teams will be able to sign two more players as 'Wildcards'. Here is the list of picks by each team.
