Warner joins London Spirit in men’s Hundred but Anderson unsold in draft | The Hundred

This summer, cricket fans can look forward to seeing David Warner make his debut at Lord’s for London Spirit in The Hundred tournament. The former Australian batter will be playing alongside his former coach Justin Langer, but he won’t be the highest-paid player, with Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmad, David Willey, and Michael Bracewell securing bigger deals.

Interestingly, Jimmy Anderson, another retired international player, was left unsold in the draft, while Jason Roy faced a similar fate for the second year in a row. The tournament will see a strong representation from New Zealand and Australia, with players like Rachin Ravindra and Lockie Ferguson joining the competition.

On the women’s side, Georgia Voll made headlines for her record-breaking performance in the Women’s Premier League and was drafted for £65,000 by Birmingham Phoenix. Despite some surprises in the draft, players like Ellyse Perry and Megan Schutt were also signed before the draft.

Overall, the draft for The Hundred tournament saw some interesting picks and surprises, setting the stage for an exciting summer of cricket.
