LONDON: The sons of former England cricketers Andrew Flintoff and Michael Vaughan, along with veteran pacer James Anderson, have registered for The Hundred 2025 draft scheduled to take place on Wednesday, March 12.

England men’s legendary cricketer James Anderson is among the notable names registering their name in the shorter version of the game. The former pacer will aim to play short-form cricket for the first time in a decade.

The draft also features the sons of two former England cricketers: Archie Vaughan and Rocky Flintoff.

Rocky Flintoff, a promising talent for the England Lions, and Archie Vaughan lead a group of emerging players eager to attract attention in The Hundred draft.

In addition to these young talents, notable overseas men’s and women players in the 100- ball tournament include Glenn Maxwell, Deandra Dottin, David Warner, Alyssa Healy, and Andre Russell, all of whom are participating in draft.

These prominent international stars are joined by a group of top-class domestic players also vying to be picked ahead of the competition’s fifth year, including Jamie Overton, Sophia Dunkley, Issy Wong, Rehan Ahmed, and Reece Topley.

The sixteen men’s and women’s teams have already retained several players from last year’s squads and will now fill the remainder of their available spots through The Hundred Draft.

London Spirit will have the first pick in the men’s competition, while Birmingham Phoenix will pick first in the women’s competition.

The Hundred returns for its fifth year at Lord’s on 5 August, with a London derby between London Spirit and Oval Invincibles kicking off another year of world-class cricket and blockbuster entertainment.
