Unsurprisingly, Babar Azam topped the charts after bagging 25% of audience votes.

While pacers Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah are listed with a reserve price of £60,000, Babar, Shaheen, and Rizwan have a reserve price of £100,000 each.

In addition, eight Pakistan female cricketers have also registered for the Women's Hundred league. Fast bowler, Diana Baig, is the second most expensive player, with a reserve price of £25,000. Javeria Rauf of Pakistan entered with a reserve price of £18,750. Iram Javed, Nida Dar, Fatima Sana, Urooj Shah, Muneeba Siddiqui, and Mahim Tariq have also signed up for the draft, which has no reserve price.

The Hundred draft would take place on March 23.

Previously, Birmingham Phoenix retained Pakistan leggie Shadab Khan. 

The competition will begin in August. Trent Rockets won the men's competition last year after defeating Manchester Originals in the final match.
