KARACHI: 65 Pakistan cricketers, 60 men and five women, have registered for 2024 The Hundred Draft set to take place on March 20.
In an early development, Manchester Originals retained Usama Mir, while Welsh Fire retained pacer Haris Rauf.
High-profile names like Hasan Ali and Naseem Shah have entered the draft, commanding an impressive reserve price of £100,000.
Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed have established their reserve prices at £75,000. Meanwhile, Mohammad Amir, Saim Ayub, Aamer Jamal, and Abdullah Shafique have set a base price of £60,000.
Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris, and Imad Wasim have entered the draft with a reserve price of £50,000. Mir Hamza, Mohammad Hasnain, and Azam Khan are among those with a £40,000 reserve.
Notably, 46 Pakistani players have registered for The Hundred without specifying a reserve price. Players in this category include Salman Ali Agha, Abrar Ahmed, Umar Akmal, and Asif Ali.
Heider Ali, Umar Amin, Faheem Ashraf, and Shahnawaz Dahani have also thrown their names into the hat without a set reserve price. Zaman Khan, Shan Masood, Mohammad Nawaz, Roman Raees, Saud Shakeel, Haneen Shah, and Wasim Junior are also without a reserve price.

In the men's competition, there are 245 domestic players and 389 overseas players registered for selection.
Every player has a reserve price. This is the minimum amount of money that a team can pay for them. If all teams fill their slots at that price band and above, then that player can no longer be selected.
The fourth edition of The Hundred is scheduled to kick off on July 23.
