The first-ever international draft took place in the BBL, and there were some surprise picks. Some big players registered for the draft, but they were not picked at all by any of the teams.
It was a bit surprising that Faf du Plessis and Andre Russell were not picked due to their availability issues. Liam Livingstone was the first picked by Melbourne Renegades in Round 1 of Platinum players, whereas players like Sam Billings, Shadab Khan, David Willey, Chris Jordan and Trent Boult were picked in Round 1 as well.
The strategy of the teams was clear that they want players who will be available to play for the maximum duration of the tournament. This is the reason that a lot of Pakistani players were picked over the big names like DJ Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Faf du Plessis, Andre Russell, Jason Roy, etc.
Perth Scorchers surprised everyone by passing the first round, but they took the English trio of Phil Salt, Laurie Evans and Tymal Mills. Hobart Hurricanes took all three Pakistani players in Shadab Khan, Asif Ali and Faheem Ashraf. Rashid Khan and Alex Hales are identical with Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder respectively, and they have been pikced by the same teams.
