David Warner has been surprisingly overlooked in The Hundred draft as Andrew Flintoff kick-started a West Indies rush by snapping up Nicholas Pooran with his first pick. The Australian left-hander, who recently retired from the Test scene, has travelled the world playing white-ball cricket since 2009 and most recently featured in the UAE for the Dubai Capitals.
Instead, there was a distinct Caribbean flavour at the outset of the men’s draft as five of the seven buys in the top-tier bracket went on big-hitting Windies stars. Former England captain Flintoff, having been appointed Northern Superchargers men’s head coach in November in his first official role since returning to cricket, plumped for Pooran, who was bought for $US2 million in this year’s Indian Premier League auction.
