Pakistan stars Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi are all late additions to the draft list for this year's men's Hundred draft.

The trio have all been made available to the eight teams ahead of Wednesday evening's draft.

In the women's competition, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur has also been added, as has former Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof.

The inclusions of Babar, Rizwan and Afridi are the biggest of the last-minute changes, although West Indies allrounders Andre Russell and Jason Holder – as well as seamer Alzarri Joseph – have changed their reserve price to £75,000.

So, too, has New Zealand batter Devon Conway, who has previously represented Southern Brave in the competition.

Big-hitting Australian Tim David has added a reserve price of £100,000; he has also played for Brave in the past. Mark Wood, who was previously without a reserve price, has set his at the same figure.

Saim Ayub, the 21-year-old Pakistani who thrashed 345 runs in 11 games at the recently concluded Pakistan Super League, has withdrawn from the draft list.
