Pollard, De Kock & Russell signed but Warner & Babar miss outpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 5 April 2022
Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell and Quinton de Kock were among the big overseas names signed in the men's Hundred draft.
Pollard has joined London Spirit while his West Indies team-mate Russell was signed by Manchester Originals and South Africa international De Kock retained by Southern Brave.
But a number of other international players have not been signed. David Warner, Aaron Finch, Chris Gayle and Babar Azam are among those to have missed out.
Instead, teams spent big on domestic players who will definitely be available. Joe Clarke (Welsh Fire), Tom Banton (Welsh Fire), Liam Dawson (London Spirit), Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Laurie Evans (Manchester Originals) have all been signed in the top wage bracket.
The women's competition promises to be star-studded with 19 of the 22 players from the recent Women's World Cup final involved.
Australia's World Cup-winning captain has signed for Trent Rockets while England opener Tammy Beaumont has made an intriguing switch from London Spirit to Welsh Fire where she will be captain.
