New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra, former Australian opener David Warner and Afghanistan's Noor Ahmad were some of the prominent overseas names to be picked during The Hundred 2025 draft, which took place on Wednesday (March 12).
Warner, who retired from international cricket last year, was the second pick for Southern Braves, while Ravindra, the player of the tournament from the recent Champions Trophy 2025, was drafted in as the sixth pick by Trent Rockets.

Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad, on the other hand, was the first pick of Manchester Originals after London Spirit made England all-rounder Jamie Overton the first pick of the draft at £200,000. While Warner became Braves' second pick at £120,000, New Zealand's Michael Bracewell was their first pick.
Rockets, who roped in Ravindra, had already signed his New Zealand teammate Lockie Ferguson, and made England all-rounder David Willey as their first pick. Meanwhile, the likes of James Anderson did not find takers at the draft. Here is a look at the squads after the Hundred draft 2025:
