With The Hundred 2025 set to kick off on August 05, a few overseas players and several England players who are part of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will be unavailable for the tournament.
Trent Rockets, London Spirit, Manchester Originals and Northern Superchargers were among the four of the eight Hundred franchises to announce player replacements for the 2025 edition.
Rockets has brought in left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein for the South African all-rounder George Linde who was picked in Proteas T20I squad for the South Africa tour of Australia 2025.
However, Hosein will be available for just a couple of games on August 10 and 14, before Linde joins the side.
Imad Wasim has played for Trent Rockets in the past, will be joining the Northern Superchargers for a couple of games on August 7 and 10, as a partial replacement for Mitchell Santner, who will be completing his national duties with New Zealand in Zimbabwe.
Similarly, Mark Chapman will take the place of Rachin Ravindra for four matches until August 13 for the Manchester Originals.
Meanwhile, Ben Dwarshuis who has been picked for both the T20Is and ODIs against South Africa, has decided to skip the whole season.
Mohammad Amir has been confirmed as his replacement, but the former Pakistan pacer has also signed up with Trinbago Knight Riders in the CPL as well, which clashes with The Hundred.
This comes after no Pakistan player was picked in the draft, partly because of the clash with the West Indies series and also becuse the likes of Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah weren’t granted NOC last year for the tournament.
Among local replacements, Glamorgan’s Dan Douthwaite will come in for Ollie Pope temporarily for the opening game and John Simpson for Jamie Smith for the London Spirit, after getting done with the Test series just on Monday.
Meanwhile, Farhan Ahmed replaced Marchant de Lange for the Manchester Originals for the full season.
England batter Jason Roy has replaced the injured Faf du Plessis for the Southern Brave. Pacer Dillon Pennington will be replacing John Turner.
Afghanisgtan players Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad are likely to be unavailable for the business end of the tournament for national duty while ther could be a restriction on the England internationals, depending on the squad for the white-ball series against South Africa in September.
