The draft for ECB’s new tournament ‘The Hundred’ took place in London on Sunday, 20 October. Players including Rashid Khan, Aaron Finch and Andre Russell were the first ones to be picked.
Shockingly, players like Chris Gayle, Kagiso Rabada and Lasith Malinga were not picked by any side.
All the teams have some big names along with some exciting young talent and are looking very strong. With these pool of talented cricketers coming in, the new tournament is looking very exciting and challenging at the same time.
