A raft of Nottinghamshire stars past and present have been announced amongst the list for The Hundred Men’s Draft on Sunday 20 October.

Samit Patel has gone in at the £60,000 bracket, with a raft of other Outlaws T20 stars – including Tom Moores, Luke Fletcher, Jake Ball and Matthew Carter – not setting a reserve price for themselves.

Outlaws captain Dan Christian and former Notts twirler Imran Tahir are in the £60,000 category, with James Pattinson and Ish Sodhi setting themselves at a £50,000 reserve price.

Chris Gayle, Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc are among the star overseas players available for selection alongside 239 players from the UK.

Spinner Rashid Khan is tipped to be one of the top picks on the night, with the likes of David Warner, Shakib Al Hasan and former Outlaw Andre Russell also expected to be snapped up in the opening rounds.

England World Cup winners Mark Wood and Liam Plunkett headline the 331 domestic players who have put their names forward, with Sam Billings and Dawid Malan also riding high on many teams’ draft boards.

Teams will select 12 players on the night - with a maximum of three overseas picks - who will join the already-announced England red-ball contracted players and Local Icons.

The Hundred men’s Draft will mark an historic occasion in British sport, as the first major UK sport competition draft to be held in this country.

On the night, each Head Coach will select their team as follows:

An independently adjudicated pre-draft draw has determined the order of selection:

  1. Trent Rockets 
  2. Southern Brave 
  3. Northern Superchargers 
  4. Welsh Fire 
  5. Oval Invincibles 
  6. Manchester Originals 
  7. London Spirit 
  8. Birmingham Phoenix 

Head Coaches will pick two players per round, with just 100 seconds per pick. There will be seven rounds to complete each squad. The first coach will select a player, followed by the next coach, and so on. Mid-round the selection order will reverse. Where an ‘icon player’ has already been picked, the team skip that turn in The Draft. 

96 of the world’s best cricketers will be selected from a nearly 600-strong player pool.
