Most Expensive Players of the Hundred 2025

Most Expensive Players of the Hundred 2025

Today we will look into the most expensive player of the Hundred 2025.

The Hundred is the ECB’s 100-ball-a-side competition in which eight teams across seven cities compete in respective men’s and women’s competitions, with daily double-headers.

The tournament is entering its fifth edition following its successful launch in 2021.

The 16 men’s and women’s teams have already retained a number of players from last year’s squads and added others as direct signings.

Each of the eight teams have two places remaining to be filled by wildcards nearer to the start of the competition on August 5. Those places will be in the lowest salary bracket of £10,000.

What is the Right-to-Match option in the Hundred 2025?

Each team will have the option of retaining a player from their 2024 squad in the draft, if they can offer the same salary as that being offered by the team that picks the player in the draft.

Rise in Salary Bands for Players in the Hundred 2025

Top salaries in the men’s Hundred have been boosted by 60 percent for 2025 as the ECB pushes to attract the world’s best players to the competition in its transitional season.

The salary increases in both the men’s and women’s game mean that the Hundred’s top wages are now near-identical to those on offer in Australia’s Big Bash Leagues. The top men’s salary in the Hundred is £200,000, which falls into the A$360,000-420,000 range for platinum BBL picks; the top women’s salary is £65,000, slightly more than the A$110,000 on offer in the WBBL.

Rob Hillman, the ECB’s director of major events, described salary increases as “imperative in the current landscape of global cricket”

“I’m glad in the men’s competition we’ve been able to boost our top earners to £200,000, while to be at £65,000 for our top earners in the women’s competition is another step forward. That we are now offering four times what we were able to offer in the first year of the women’s competition is telling of the game’s continued growth, and clearly not the end of our journey.
