Pakistan cricket stars, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, have been added as late entries to this year's men's Hundred draft list.

The draft is set for March 20 and these players are now eligible for selection by the eight teams participating in the draft.

Moreover, Babar, Rizwan, and Afridi have a reserve price of £100,000, while batter Saim Ayub has withdrawn from the draft. West Indies all-rounders Andre Russell and Jason Holder, along with seamer Alzarri Joseph, have adjusted their reserve price to £75,000.

Earlier this month, a total of 65 Pakistani cricketers, including 60 men and five women, registered for The Hundred Draft. Hasan Ali and Naseem Shah have set an impressive reserve price of £100,000, while Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed have a reserve price of £75,000. Other players like Mohammad Amir, Aamer Jamal, and Abdullah Shafique have set their base price at £60,000.

Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris, and Imad Wasim have entered the draft with a reserve price of £50,000, while Mir Hamza, Mohammad Hasnain, and Azam Khan have a reserve price of £40,000. Additionally, 46 Pakistani players have registered for The Hundred without specifying a reserve price. This includes Salman Ali Agha, Abrar Ahmed, Umar Akmal, and Asif Ali.

Furthermore, in the women's category, former Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof and current captain Harmanpreet Kaur of India have also been included in the draft list.

Iram Javed, Nida Dar, and Fatima Sana have registered with a reserve price of £17,500, while Aliya Riaz and Javeria Rauf have joined the draft without a reserve price.

Each player in the draft has a reserve price, which is the minimum amount a team can pay for them. The fourth edition of The Hundred is scheduled to begin on July 23.
