A format which guarantees entertainment, The Hundred is back with its third season. Some of the biggest hitters of the game will make their presence felt during the course of the tournament. Moreover, the pitches in England are absolutely ideal for batting and the boundaries are expected to flow in this season as well.

Apart from Northern Superchargers, all the other seven teams have announced their captains. Jos Butter, Moeen Ali, James Vince, Tom Abell, Sam Billings, Lewis Gregory and Dan Lawrence will be leading their respective sides. As is the case with most of the T20 leagues around the world these days, some of the overseas players are available for a limited period only.
Batter Tim David (Southern Brave) is not available for the full season and New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner will be taking his place going ahead in the tournament. The same is the case with players like Sunil Narine, Heinrich Klaasen, etc as well. Part of defending champions Trent Rockets, spinner Rashid Khan ruled himself out of the season earlier in the day.
Pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi will be making his debut this season for Welsh Fire and he will share the dressing room alongside fellow countryman Haris Rauf. While London Spirit had sealed the signature of the Australian duo of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh, both of them have also pulled out of the tournament.
