The Hundred: Updated squads of all franchises

The much-awaited ‘Hunderd’ is all set to kick off on July 21. The tournament that was set for a rollicking start last year was postponed after COVID-19 wreaked havoc across the globe. The tournament will finally see daylight when Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals cross swords in the opening encounter of the showpiece event at Kennington Oval in London. The tournament has grabbed a lot of limelight ever since it was announced by the ECB. The tournament is one of its kind and will see many new rules being implemented. From 100 ball innings to a switch from overs to ‘five’ , the tournament will be a unique experience for the fans. Several international stalwarts are part of the league and the tournament is set for a blockbuster start. 

Here are the complete squads of the marquee tournament.
