The discussion also highlighted other prominent players who were not chosen, such as Daryl Mitchell, Sunil Narine, and Tim David.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, interestingly, I have wrote down a lot of teams\u2019 needs that what I thought and this is only my opinion and I reckon a lot of those sides have picked for needs. You look at some of the players that haven\u2019t been selected, and it\u2019s easy, I reckon, Naseer Hussain, to suggest that you look at the names in big bright lights and you think, well, I\u2019ve got to get them because they\u2019re great players available,\u201d one of the panelists remarked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeams haven\u2019t necessarily done that. You look at players who haven\u2019t been selected. Daryl Mitchell, I have written down here. Sunil Narine, Tim David wasn\u2019t selected, Babar Azam, Mujeeb, David Warner didn\u2019t go. So it\u2019s interesting about the selections. One of the things about the Pakistan players and David Warner as well, is availability is something that sides look at a lot, and whether they\u2019re going to be available for the entirety of the season, and that might have had a leaning towards some of them,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s noteworthy that only three Pakistani players were able to secure contracts in this year\u2019s draft on Wednesday, with Naseem Shah leading the way by joining Birmingham Phoenix for a remarkable \u00a3125,000. Shaheen Afridi and Imad Wasim were also selected by Welsh Fire and Trent Rockets, respectively, each for \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n<p>The exclusion of Babar Azam and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/psl\/2024\/03\/mohammad-rizwan-opens-up-about-losing-to-islamabad-united-in-psl-9-final\/\">Mohammad Rizwan<\/a> was particularly surprising, especially considering their late additions to the selection list.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth season of The Hundred is set to begin on July 23, 2024, with Oval Invincibles defending their championship against Birmingham Phoenix in the opening match.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/FotoJet-2024-03-22T122931.873-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan not picked in The Hundred draft\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan not picked in The Hundred draft<\/h5>\n<p>Babar Azam was not picked during The Hundred draft.
