David Warner and Kane Williamson will both play in the Pakistan Super League in 2025 after being drafted on Monday.

Former Australia opener Warner, 38, was signed by Karachi Kings and will be joined by New Zealand's Williamson, 34, who initially went undrafted before being selected in the supplementary round.

English trio Tom Kohler-Cadmore (Peshawar Zalmi), Tom Curran and Sam Billings (Lahore Qalandars) were also signed, but Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Tymal Mills and Alex Hales were among the players not selected.

Ireland's Josh Little will play for Multan Sultans, while New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell (Lahore Qalandars), West Indies' Jason Holder and South Africa's Rassie van der Dussen (both Islamabad United) also got picked up.

Australia's Usman Khawaja, South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi and Afghanistan's Mujeeb ur Rahman failed to earn deals.

England's James Vince (Karachi Kings), Chris Jordan and David Willey (both Multan Sultans) had already been retained by their sides alongside Pakistan stars like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Muhammad Rizwan.

The dates for the 10th edition are yet to be announced, but it is expected to clash in part with the Indian Premier League.
