Australia’s David Warner was picked up by London Spirit in the 2025 Hundred draft, while England’s all-time leading Test wicket-taker James Anderson missed out.
Seamer Anderson, who will turn 43 shortly before the 2025 edition of The Hundred starts on August 5, live on Sky Sports, has already signed a new one-year deal with Lancashire to play in County Championship and T20 cricket but won’t feature in the 100-ball-a-side tournament after also going unsold in the Indian Premier League auction in late 2024.
Rocky Flintoff, the 16-year-old son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff who became the youngest player to score a century for England U19s earlier this year, also went unselected in the draft.
Meanwhile in the women’s competition, England captain Heather Knight was retained by defending champions London Spirit, with Sophia Dunkley also staying at Welsh Fire.
Australian batter Georgia Voll was the first pick in the women’s draft and will be heading to Birmingham Phoenix, while West Indies’ Deandra Dottin was retained by Manchester Originals.
New Zealand captain Sophie Devine has the chance to help Southern Brave win another title after leading the Black Caps to their first T20 World Cup success in 2024.
All-rounder Paige Scholfield will team up with Oval Invincibles, while Grace Potts signs with Northern Superchargers and Jodi Grewcock heads to Trent Rockets.

David Willey transferred from Welsh Fire to Trent Rockets for the 2025 competition where he will be joined by leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, as England Test opener Zak Crawley signed with Northern Superchargers.
Southern Brave signed England left-arm fast bowler Reece Topley, who will join the explosive bowling attack alongside Jofra Archer, Tymal Mills, Craig Overton and Chris Jordan.
New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra, who recently made headlines for his starring performances in the Champions Trophy, will head to Manchester Originals in the summer, joined there by Afghanistan’s spinner Noor Ahmad.
