Usama Mir Joins Manchester Originals for The Hundred 2023

Pakistan all-rounder, Usama Mir, has been enlisted by the Manchester Originals as a replacement player for the upcoming edition of The Hundred in 2023. He will be taking the spot of Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, who will be participating in the forthcoming Lanka Premier League 2023.

Mir’s recent performances in the Vitality Blast 2023 for Worcestershire were noteworthy, as he claimed an impressive 19 wickets in just 11 matches, showcasing his skills with a commendable economy rate of 7.29.

In the previous draft for The Hundred held on March 23, Welsh Fire acquired the services of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, with Afridi having a reserve price of £100,000 and Rauf at £60,000.

In other selections, Oval Invincibles secured the services of Ihsanullah from Multan Sultans for £40,000.

Birmingham Phoenix retained Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan for £100,000, adding him to their squad alongside international cricketers such as Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, and Liam Livingstone.

The competition is scheduled to take place from August 1 to 27 this year. Trent Rockets emerged as the victors in the men’s competition last year, defeating Manchester Originals in the final match.
