The full players' list for the England Cricket Board's (ECB) Hundred draft on Sunday has been revealed and as many as 11 Bangladesh players have entered the draft.

The Hundred is a new competition in which eight freshly formed teams, representing seven cities from around the UK, compete against each other. Each team has both a men's and women's side.

Initially six Bangladesh players were reported to have submitted their names for the players' draft for the new tournament but the full list revealed that the likes Mahmudulah Riyad Liton Das, Imrul Kayes, Taskin Ahmed and Abu Hider have also entered their names.

Both Shakib and Tamim entered with a reserve price of £100,000 alongside other star names such as Andre Russell, Glenn Maxwell, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Lamichhane, Kane Williamson, Dwayne Bravo, Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard.

Australian duo Steve Smith and David Warner and West Indies opener Chris Gayle are among the most expensive players listed in Sunday's draft.
