The Hundred: Who has been retained and drafted for each Women’s squad?

The Hundred draft was finalised on Tuesday afternoon, as the competition is now just a few months away from embarking on its second year.

Dane van Niekerk was the inaugural winning captain as she led her side, Oval Invincibles, from the front to lift the Trophy.

The South African was the tournament’s highest run scorer and will hope to recover from her current injury ahead of her second year as the team’s captain.

Jemimah Rodrigues was another who enjoyed a stand out performance last year. The Indian batter was little known before the tournament began, but became household name after she knocked 94 not out as well as making two other totals above 50.

This year, there was a drafting process, with the Women franchises allowed to retain as many players as they wanted from the previous year.

This could have meant, in theory, that exactly the same squads could have been on the pitch as last year - however, this didn’t happen.

The Women squads can have up to three overseas players and will ideally have an England contracted player - similar to the men’s set up.

As the draft draws to a close, let’s take a look at who made the cut for each team:
