The Hundred Draft Picks of the Season

Several Australian women cricketers from the recent world series winning squad have been signed in “The Hundred” draft on Tuesday. The signings include Meg Lanning, Beth Mooney, Rachel Haynes, Tahlia McGrath, Alana King, Megan Schutt and Annabel Sutherland. Left arm spinner Sophie Molineux who had a decent outing in the world Series was also featured in the draft list. As many as 11 Australian cricketers had pulled out of the inaugural season of the tournament due to COVID restrictions.

Among the other cricketers headlining the signing were New Zealand's Amy Satterthwaite and Amelia Kerr, South Africa's Mignon du Preez and West Indies' Deandra Dottin. Twelve other players had already signed with their respective teams earlier this year. 

Alyssa Healey has been retained by Northern and will share the same dressing room as veteran seamer Jenny Gunn who didn’t play a game in the inaugural season. 

Among the local stars Tammy Beaumont has left London to captain Welsh where she will play alongside  Fran Wilson, Alex Hartley, Fi Morris and Sarah Bryce. Her former teammate and fellow opener Lauren Winfield Hill has moved to Oval. 

Sanjai Patel, the Managing Director of the 100 ball event, said “With a host of star players confirmed, The Hundred will have fans on the edge of their seats with world-class sport, as well as bringing more family-friendly entertainment off the pitch. In the women's competition, we have the best players from across the world taking part including Meg Lanning, Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine and we are confident we will set a new benchmark for the women's domestic game”.
