Rashid Khan, Kate Cross, and Liam Livingstone have all secured contracts to participate in The Hundred for the 2026 season.

The inaugural player auction for The Hundred will take place in London on 11 and 12 March.

Previously, for the first five editions of the tournament, players were assigned to teams through a draft system that involved predetermined salary tiers.

However, following significant private investment in The Hundred, players who have not been signed or retained will now have their teams and salaries determined via an auction process.

Each squad will consist of between 16 and 18 players. Teams will operate under a salary cap as well as a salary collar, which is the minimum amount that must be spent on player salaries.

The salary budget for the men's competition in 2026 has increased by 45%, reaching £2.05 million per team. Meanwhile, the women's teams will see their salary fund double to £880,000.

The minimum salary for female players has also risen by 50%, now set at £15,000. Additionally, the number of overseas players allowed in both the men's and women's competitions has increased from three to four.

Below is the current status of the squads after each team was permitted to sign or retain up to four players prior to the auction.
