The Hundred 2027: Birmingham Phoenix announces Fatima Sana as wildcard signing

Fatima Sana becomes the first Pakistani player selected for The Hundred women’s competition and will earn the tournament minimum salary of £15,000, officials said.

  • On Thursday, Pakistan captain Fatima Sana became the first Pakistani woman selected for The Hundred after Birmingham Phoenix picked her in the wildcard draft.
  • Sana fills Phoenix's fourth overseas slot, which became available after Cricket Australia withdrew all-rounder Lucy Hamilton to manage her workload.
  • At Edgbaston on Wednesday, Sana scored an unbeaten 55 off 38 balls and took three wickets for 16 runs against South Africa in the World Cup match.
  • The all-rounder earns the tournament's minimum salary of £15,000, approximately PKR5.6 million, marking significant Pakistani representation in The Hundred.
  • As the third Pakistani player to secure a contract this year, Sana joins Usman Tariq at Phoenix and Abrar Ahmed at Sunrisers Leeds.
