The Hundred 2022: Squads, List Of Spots Remaining Released For All Teams

The second edition of the England Cricket Board’s (ECB) The Hundred will get underway on August 3, 2022. Southern Brave are the defending champions, having lost just one game on their way to the inaugural title.

Although the tournament was under the cosh even before it started last year, the ECB would be pretty satisfied with the amount of interest generated by their brainchild. They will be hoping to keep it going and expand in any way, shape, or form.

The tournament will continue to be aired by BBC while all the women’s games and a few of the men’s games will also be available for free on Sky Sports’ YouTube channel. The format will remain the same and for now, there are no new rules introduced in the competition.

There will be 100 balls per innings with a change of ends every 10 deliveries. The bowlers will be allowed to bowl 5-10 balls in a row and each bowler can bowl a maximum of twenty deliveries per game. Similar to the IPL, there will be strategic timeouts that the teams playing can call.

Ahead of the new season, each team has confirmed its list of players and the remaining spots that are left to fill. James Vince will continue to lead the defending champions, Southern Brave.
