The Hundred Draft 2024: Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues Among Others Added To The Draft

Prominent names from the world of women’s cricket have registered for The Hundred Draft ahead of the selection that is due to take place on the 20th of March. There is a total of 127 overseas players and 122 domestic players who have signed up for the Women’s Hundred draft. Player retentions were finalized on February 29, leaving 43 spots available in the draft.

After the draft, each of the eight teams will have 13 players, and two wildcard picks will be chosen later. From an Indian standpoint, no players were retained ahead of the season and thereby we have the likes of Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, Renuka Singh Thakur, Shreyanka Patil, Yastika Bhatia, Kiran Navgire, Veda Krishnamurthy, Mona Meshram, Shikha Pandey, Sneh Rana, S Meghana, Meghna Singh and Radha Yadav who have signed up for the Player Draft and would be hoping to get picked by the respective franchises.

Conspicously, Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur who turned out for Trent Rockets has not signed up to be a part of the draft. Even the likes of Meg Lanning, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland and Ashleigh Gardner from Australia have signed up. Chamari Athapaththu, the prolific Sri Lankan has also thrown her ring in the hat. A lot of players from Pakistan, UAE, Namibia, Bhutan, Papua New Guinea, and Zimbabwe to name a few have signed up.

How does player selection work in The Hundred?

In the Women’s Hundred, teams can retain eight players and all the teams have done that in the lead up to this season. Teams can choose to keep fewer players to have more slots available for new players in The Hundred Draft.

Every player entering the Draft has a minimum price they can be signed for, but they can earn more if a team is willing to pay more. The Women’s competition has its own Draft system. Teams take turns choosing players, with a maximum of three overseas players allowed per squad.
