'The Hundred' draft postponed to avoid clash with Warne's state funeral

The men’s Hundred draft and the announcement of the new women’s signings for the second version of the tournament has been deferred to April 5 to keep away from Australian legend Shane Warne’s state funeral on March 30.

The men’s draft picks and the new women’s signings for the second phase of the tournament were supposed to be announced on March 30, that very day as Warne’s memorial at the MCG.

“The men’s picks from The Hundred Draft and new women’s signings will now be announced on Tuesday 5 April, with the next Priority Access window opening on the same date. This is a week later than previously advertised due to Shane Warne state funeral taking place on Wednesday 30 March,” read the statement from The Hundred.

Warne, who has picked 708 wickets in 145 Tests in the span of 15 years, passed away in Koh Samui, Thailand on March 4.

“Shane was a much loved part of The Hundred, and played an important role in launching the competition as Head Coach of London Spirit’s men’s team. He will be hugely missed by everyone involved in the competition,” the statement added.
