The draft for the 2025 men's and women's Hundred will take place today (March 12), with teams set to finalise their squads for the competition. Here's where you can watch the Hundred draft live.
The Hundred 2025 draft: Who will be the key picks?
The franchises will have hundreds of players to choose from after announcing their retentions last month, with domestic players and overseas players set to be picked. Players from the domestic circuit include 42-year-old James Anderson, as well as 16-year-old England Lions star Rocky Flintoff. Fast-bowler Mark Wood is also on the draft list for the men's competition, as is Rehan Ahmed.
The biggest name in the women's draft will be Heather Knight, who was not officially retained as captian by London Spirit. She is, however, expected to occupy their available £65,000 slot and can be right-to-match'd if another team signs her. Another high profile name in the draft would be Paige Scholfield, who was not retained by Oval Invincibles despite her standout competition last year when she was promoted to open. There is speculation that Oval Invincibles may use their 'right to match' option for Scholfield, where a team can re-sign a player they chose not to retain if they match the price another team has bid for them.
