Babar Azam, Harmanpreet Kaur, and David Warner are among the big names that were not picked in the draft. Most of the teams were keen to add Carabian firepower as players Pooran, Shimron Hytmyer, André Russell, and Kerryon Pollard found buyers.
Nicholas Pooran was the first pick in the draft. Pooran was picked by the Northern Superchargers, while Andre Russell and Shimron Hytmyer were picked by the London Spirit.
Rovman Powell and Kieron Pollard were picked in the first draft itself, as they were picked by the Trent Rockets and Southern Braves, respectively.
On the other hand, Jason Roy, who recently pulled out of the IPL due to personal reasons, along with Mark Wood, failed to find a buyer.
Apart from them, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan also failed to find a buyer, but Naseem Shah was picked up by the Birmingham Phoenix.
