The Hundred 2025 draft will be held on March 12: here are the live updates for the event, including the list of players to be picked, full squads and more.
The Hundred 2025 draft: How does it work?
Each of the 16 teams – eight men's and eight women's – have the option of retaining up to 10 players in their squad. They can also retain up to three overseas players.
The deadline for retention was February 25.
The order of the draft is obtained by reversing the standings from the 2024 edition. Consequently, last year's men's and women's champions – the Oval Invincibles and London Spirit – will be selecting last.
The draft shall continue until each squad has 13 players.
What is the Right-to-Match option?
Each team will have the option of retaining a player from their 2024 squad in the draft, if they can offer the same salary as that being offered by the team that picks the player in the draft.
