The most expensive players for The Hundred draft have a reserve price of £125,000. T20 stalwarts Rashid Khan of Afghanistan and West Indian Andre Russell, with an identical 100,000 pounds reserve price, are among 239 players from outside the UK to enter the draft. England World Cup winners Mark Wood and Liam Plunkett headline the 331 domestic players who have put their names forward for the draft.
