Ben McDermott, Mohammad Hasnain, Daniel Sams, and Imran Tahir are among the overseas wildcard picks for The Hundred's second season. Each of the eight men's teams have added a fourth foreign player to their squads but can only feature three in a playing XI.
Australian batsman Ben McDermott has signed with London Spirit after an impressive stint with Hampshire Hawks in the Vitality Blast, including a 30-ball 83 against Middlesex.
Pakistan fast bowler Hasnain was selected as the first choice and will play for the Oval Invincibles. The 22-year old was banned from bowling in international cricket after his action was deemed illegal during a Big Bash League match in January, but his ban has now been removed.
"I'm overjoyed to be joining Oval Invincibles," he said.
"The Hundred looked like great fun last year and I can't wait to get involved. The opportunity to play alongside stars like Sunil Narine, Jason Roy and the Curran brothers is hugely exciting. I'm really looking forward to getting back out on the field again."
Imran Tahir has rejoined the Birmingham Phoenix after being released and then not being picked in the player draft. Last year, the 43-year-old lit up the event with the first hat-trick in competition history against Welsh Fire.
Finn Allen, who played for Phoenix last season, has been signed by Southern Brave, the defending champions.
Northern Superchargers have signed David Wiese, who was previously with London Spirit.
Manchester Originals have signed Durham's Ashton Turner, and Afghan left-arm spinner Noor Ahmad has joined Welsh Fire. Daniel Sams joins Trent Rockets to round up the new signings.
Qais Ahmad, Shimron Hetmyer, Marnus Labuschagne, and Evin Lewis were among those who were ignored. At the same time, Dewald Breivis, Tristan Stubbs, and Jimmy Neesham were included in the long list of players from the draft but also missed out.
There is still one open spot in each of the eight squads that a domestic wildcard player will fill; it will be announced in July.
The second edition of the men's Hundred begins on August 3rd, with Southern Brave vs Welsh Fire at The Ageas Bowl.
