What is The Hundred Draft?
The Hundred Draft, powered by Sage is the moment the eight teams across the Women's and Men's Competitions fill out the gaps remaining in their squads.
Teams in the men’s competition were able to retain up to 10 players from their 2023 squads, while teams in the women's competition could retain up to eight. The remaining slots in the roster will be filled during the Draft.
The Draft will take place live at The Shard on Wednesday 20 March from 17:30 GMT.
Who will be picked?
David Warner, Smriti Mandhana, Meg Lanning, Kane Williamson, Kieron Pollard and Beth Mooney are just some of the players available to sign in The Hundred Draft.
A host of England internationals and domestic cricket stars are also up for selection, including Dawid Malan, Jason Roy and Mark Wood.

How does the Draft work?
Every player who enters the Draft will have a reserve price. This is the lowest amount of money that they can be signed for. But they can receive more money if a team wants to offer it!
Both competitions will have their own Draft. Teams will take turns to select players. Draft orders will be the reverse of the final standings from 2023.

Right to Match
There is one complex thing during the Draft! Each team get one "Right to Match" option. This option enables a team to re-sign one of their 2023 players they didn’t previously retain when a rival team offers to buy them during the Draft.
Teams using their "Right to Match" have to offer the same salary as the player’s prospective new team. If they have already filled up all their slots at that band, the option isn't available.
