Domestic players were in high demand, while notable overseas players such as Babar Azam, Kieron Pollard, and Trent Boult went unsold, partly due to potential availability issues. Following the Vitality Blast group stages, each team will have the opportunity to sign two additional ‘wildcard’ players and any necessary replacements before the Hundred commences on August 1.
