Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam were not sold in The Hundred Draft in 2024.

The two had signed up at the last minute for the draft. ICC


Babar Azam, the former captain of Pakistan, and Muhammad Rizwan, the wicketkeeper-batter, were not selected in the The Hundred 2024 player draft.

Up to 32 men's cricket players—both domestic and foreign players—were selected in the draft for eight teams.


At the eleventh hour, Babar, Rizwan, and Pakistan's T20 captain, Shaheen Afridi, registered for the draft.


Welse Fire has chosen Shaheen once more for a £100,000 contract. He had also represented the team in the previous season.


In addition, retired all-rounder Imad Wasim came back to the Trent Rockets for £100,000, and Birmingham Phoenix selected star pacer Naseem Shah for £125,000.

None of the teams selected Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Hasan Ali, or Muhammad Amir, other well-known Pakistani celebrities.


Not included were Shakib Al Hasan, Tim David, Jason Roy, and David Warner, four well-known international players.


During the draft, West Indies players were highly sought after. Nicholas Pooran was selected by the Northern Superchargers as the first draft pick. Rovman Powell was a first-round pick of the Trent Rockets, Kieron Pollard joined the Southern Brave, and Andre Russell and Shimron Hetmyer will play for the London Spirit.

There were no Pakistani players selected in the women's draft.


The players most in demand were Australians; in the auction, girls like Meg Lanning, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, Lauren Cheatle, Jess Jonassen, and Sophie Molineux were selected.


The two Indians chosen for the draft were Smriti Mandhana and Richa Ghosh.

Recall that 64 Pakistani cricket players—59 men and 5 women—registered for 2024 The Hundred Draft earlier this month.


Prior to the draft, Haris Rauf of the Welsh Fire and Usama Mir of the Manchester Originals, two bowlers from Pakistan, were kept in the lineup.


It should be mentioned that The Hundred's fourth iteration will begin on July 23.

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard  Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...

Despite Jamal's flashy displays, all-around Shadab secures a significant victory.

Despite Jamal's flashy displays, all-around Shadab secures a significant victory. Scoreboard For Islamabad United, brothers Naseem and Hunain also excelled, slicing through the Peshawar Zalmi starting lineup. In the Pakistan Super League on Monday, Islamabad United defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 29 runs after stifling Aamer Jamal's lightning-fast half-century. Thanks primarily to captain Shadab Khan's 80 from 51 balls, Islamabad scored 196-4. Then, on the power play, brothers Naseem Shah (1-26) and Hunain Shah (2-25) cut through the Peshawar top order, bringing it down to 18-5. When Jamal was clean-bowled by Shadab, who finished with 3-41, in the 18th over, they were 152-6. Jamal had spearheaded the recovery with a brilliant 87 off 49 balls. United overtook Zalmi on net run-rate, moving up to third place in the six-team standings. Babar Azam, the captain, was unnecessarily run out of the first ball he faced, which put Zalmi's chase in early danger. Babar was unable to beat ...
