Teams in The Hundred women's competition have signed 26 players in the first round of the open market.
The final 30 players will be revealed in July, alongside the wildcard picks in the men's competition.
Australia's Erin Burns is among the signings, completing Birmingham Phoenix's overseas allocation.
Grace Scrivens, Tara Norris and Niamh Holland will play for London Spirit, who have one slot remaining for their overseas player.
Several high-profile players from Australia's T20 World Cup-winning side did not enter the draft because of the packed schedule, including captain Meg Lanning, Beth Mooney, Megan Schutt and Annabel Sutherland.
