Haseeb Hameed is among the England internationals to make themselves available for the Pakistan Super League supplementary draft.

The mini draft, which will take place virtually on Saturday, gives a chance for the six franchises to complete their 20-man squads for the tournament, while 14 players will need to be wholly or partially replaced.

Quetta Gladiators will need to find another option for Naveen-ul-Haq, who has opted out of the competition, and Tom Abell - an injury doubt.

Meanwhile, a host of players who are involved in the T20I series between West Indies and England in late January will be partially replaced.

Once those signings have been made, the PSL franchises will move onto completing their rosters.

The teams will be allowed to pick two players - with a maximum of one overseas - at diamond, gold, silver or emerging level.

Hameed, who has not played a professional T20 game and has endured a difficult Ashes tour of Australia, is one of five Englishmen available.

David Willey, Dan Lawrence, Jamie Overton and Tymal Mills are also up for grabs, while other notable names include Carlos Brathwaite, Shimron Hetmyer, Chris Green, and Sandeep Lamichhane.

The PSL is scheduled to begin on January 27 - five days after England's campaign in the West Indies gets under way - with matches taking place in Lahore and Karachi.

The final is slated for February 27.
