The Hundred 2025 draft is set to take place on March 12, with teams finalizing their squads for the upcoming season. This year, a number of Indian players have put their names forward, hoping to secure a stint in one of England’s most exciting franchise tournaments. Several Indian players have also entered the draft without a reserve price, meaning they are available for teams at any base salary. The list includes a mix of experienced internationals and young talents across different reserve price categories.
Indian Players at The Hundred (Women’s) Draft 2025:
1) Richa Ghosh
At the top of the list is Richa Ghosh, who has entered the draft with a reserve price of £65,000. A dynamic wicketkeeper-batter, Richa is known for her aggressive stroke play and ability to finish games. She played a crucial role in India’s 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup campaign and has been a standout performer for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Women’s Premier League (WPL). Ghosh has scored over 900 runs in WT20Is and also has a high score of 64. Furthermore, she is an excellent wicketkeeper. Ghosh, at her young age, is already experienced in playing the three major women’s leagues across the globe, including The Hundred. Her attacking mindset and finishing ability make her a strong candidate for a franchise seeking firepower in the middle order.
2) Shreyanka Patil
In the £20,000 reserve price category, Shreyanka Patil has registered as an all-rounder. She is a rising star in Indian cricket, recognized for her sharp off-spin and handy contributions with the bat. Shreyanka had a breakthrough season in WPL 2023 with RCB and later made headlines as the highest wicket-taker in her debut Women’s Caribbean Premier League stint in 2023. Her WPL season also earned her an Indian cap, where she has taken 20 wickets in the 16 T20I matches she has played, including a 3-fer. Her ability to impact games with both bat and ball makes her a valuable prospect for teams in The Hundred.
3) Kiran Navgire
Kiran Navgire has set her reserve price at £12,500. Known for her fearless and explosive batting, capable of clearing boundaries with ease, she made a name for herself with a stunning 76* off 40 balls in the Women’s T20 Challenge and has continued to impress in domestic cricket. She has also garnered attention as the six-hitting batter for the UP Warriorz, having scored 373 runs in the WPL since her debut. Her power-hitting could be a major asset on English pitches that offer good bounce.
4) Shikha Pandey
Shikha Pandey has also set her reserve price at £12,500. She brings experience and versatility as a medium-pacer and lower-order batter. The veteran has taken 43 and 75 wickets in WT20Is and WODIs for India, respectively, making a name for herself as an ace pacer. She played a crucial role in India’s 2020 T20 World Cup campaign and is known for her ability to swing the ball, a skill that could be particularly useful in English conditions. Overlooked from the national squad, she has made a name for herself in the WCPL, Super Smash, and Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL).
5) Yastika Bhatia
Yastika Bhatia, a dependable left-handed batter and wicketkeeper, has been a regular in India’s ODI and T20I squads, often providing stability at the top. Bhatia has scored 666 and 214 runs for India in ODIs and T20Is, respectively. Furthermore, she has made a name for herself representing Mumbai Indians as an opening batter in the WPL, scoring 456 runs for the franchise. She could be a valuable pick for teams looking for a solid wicketkeeper-batter option.
6) Vrinda Dinesh
Vrinda Dinesh is another promising batter who has made a mark in domestic cricket. Dinesh gained attention after she was secured by the UP Warriorz during the 2024 WPL auction as one of the most expensive uncapped players. She is tipped as one of India’s best emerging batting talents and could use The Hundred as a platform to showcase her skills.
7) Harleen Deol
Harleen Deol brings an all-round package with her ability to bat, bowl part-time leg-spin, and contribute as an outstanding fielder. Her spectacular boundary catch in 2021 remains a highlight of her career, and her versatility makes her a handy squad member. Deol has scored 251 runs for India in T20Is while taking 6 wickets as well. She is currently playing for the Gujarat Giants as a top-order batter in the WPL, scoring 380 runs for her franchise.
8) Sabbhineni Meghana
Meghana is a stylish top-order batter who has performed consistently in domestic cricket and has had opportunities in India’s T20I setup. She has scored 258 runs in the Indian T20 jersey from 16 outings. Meghana has also played in the WPL, debuting with GG and now representing RCB. She could be a dependable option for franchises seeking stability at the top.
9) Mansi Joshi
Mansi Joshi is a right-arm medium-pacer who was once a regular in the Indian setup, across both white-ball formats, having taken 16 ODI and 3 T20I wickets. Known for her ability to generate movement with the new ball, she has played key roles in domestic tournaments and previously represented India in global competitions. Injuries have hampered her international appearances, but she remains a dependable seam-bowling option. She has also played in the WPL, representing GG. If picked in The Hundred, she could provide much-needed depth in the fast-bowling department, especially in conditions where swing bowling is effective, and is also more than handy with the bat.
10) Arundhati Reddy
Arundhati Reddy, the pace-bowling all-rounder has been a part of the Indian set up of late. Known for her ability to bowl at a decent pace while also contributing lower down the order with the bat, she has taken 28 wickets in WT20Is while scoring 74 runs as a lower-order batter. Representing Delhi Capitals in the WPL, she has taken 14 wickets. A strong showing in The Hundred could give her international exposure and help her refine her game further.
11) Asha Sobhana
Leg-spinner Asha Sobhana recently made a name for herself in the WPL and is highly regarded in the domestic circles. She impressed with her control, variations, and ability to pick crucial wickets in pressure situations. Although she is yet to make her mark in the India jersey, her 17 wickets during her stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the WPL have been noteworthy.
12) Radha Yadav
Radha Yadav, the left-arm spinner, is one of India’s most experienced T20 specialists. She has been a regular in the Indian team for several years and is known for her tight lines, wicket-taking ability, and excellent fielding. She has taken 97 wickets for India in WT20Is while also scoring 79 runs. She currently plays for Delhi Capitals in the WPL and has taken 14 wickets while scoring some important lower order runs. Radha has played in overseas leagues, including the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), which gives her an edge in adapting to different conditions.
