The Hundred draft list in full as Chris Gayle and David Warner eye lucrative deals

David Warner and Chris Gayle are among the 284 overseas stars to have registered for The Hundred Draft ahead of the competition's second season.

The inaugural edition of the tournament took place last season, with Southern Brave winning the men's title and Oval Invincibles winning the women's. Franchises then announced which players they had retained for the upcoming season last month, with Glenn Maxwell, Rashid Khan, Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry some of the biggest names to commit to the competition.

The remaining spots in the eight men's teams will be filled in the draft, which will take place next week after it was pushed back to avoid a clash with Shane Warne's state funeral. The results of the draft will be announced on April 5, along with new signings for the eight women's teams.

And Warner and Gayle are among eight players to have registered with the highest reserve price of £125,000. They are joined by Pakistan captain Babar Azam, Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, South Africa spinner Tabraiz Shamsi and West Indies stars Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard and Nicholas Pooran. 250 domestic players have also registered for the draft, with uncapped batter Joe Clarke opting for a £60,000 reserve price.

All eight teams have a right-to-match option for players who were signed up to them last year, meaning the likes of Warner, Narine, and Clarke could all be retained. There are 42 slots available across the teams of which 17 will be filled by overseas and 25 by domestic players.

Shakib Al Hasan, Quinton de Kock, Jhye Richardson and Andre Russell make up the £100,000 bracket, while the likes of Dwayne Bravo, Aaron Finch, Imran Tahir and Mohammad Amir have £75,000 reserve prices. Of the domestic players, only Adam Wheater, Joe Denly and Will Rhodes have joined Clarke in setting reserve prices, with Wheater's £50,000 and Denly and Rhodes opting for £40,000.

Denly is one of 21 England internationals available in the draft, alongside Tom Banton, Liam Dawson, Olly Stone, Gary Ballance, Dom Bess, Scott Borthwick, James Bracey, Danny Briggs, Pat Brown, Steven Finn, Matt Fisher, Ben Foakes, Haseeb Hameed, Keaton Jennings, Alex Lees, Toby Roland-Jones, Dom Sibley, Mark Stoneman, Tom Westley and Luke Wright.

London Spirit will have the first pick at the draft, having finished bottom last year. The franchise is yet to confirm their new coach following Warne's tragic passing earlier this month, but Trevor Bayliss is expected to take over.

Before his death, Warne spoke about his plans for the upcoming draft and earmarked Marsh as a player Spirit might make their first pick. "Mitch Marsh, I think, is probably the hottest player in white-ball cricket at the moment," Warne said at the time.

Here is the full list of the 534 players who have registered for the draft.
