‘The Hundred’ player’s draft revealed

Cricketing superstars from across the world are participating in the franchise-based tournament. Many big overseas cricketers have opted for a base price of £100,000 or more. The England players themselves were reportedly conservative in their salary demands ahead of the player’s draft this coming Sunday. Some players from the English teams have been assigned the status of ‘local icons’, which means they are already slated to appear for their respective teams. Also, eight of the England men’s cricket team members are contractually obligated to appear for their respective franchises in the 2020’s edition.
