The Hundred is back for 2022 with the draft sparking excitement after the Southern Brave won the the inaugural edition of English cricket’s franchise short-format competition last year. The Brave were the pre-tournament favourites and dispatched the Birmingham Phoenix in the final at Lord’s to become the first men’s champions.
Expectations will be high as teams look to assemble a strong squad in the player draft, with the option of retaining up to ten men’s players from 2021, with a retention window giving teams the chance to negotiate new contracts. But following its expiration, the snake-draft system looks to plug gaps in 42 open spots across the eight teams.
Welsh Fire have plenty of work to do, with seven spots to fill, with the Southern Brave and Trent Rockets well set and looking to just tweak their balance with four new additions. London Spirit will hope to showcase their top pick, a luxury handed to them after finishing last in 2021, as The Hundred looks to seek a balance in competition and fresh hope for every team each year.
The tournament will not only showcase some of the best England players in one-day cricket but several high-profile overseas stars will look to dazzle up and down the country, including David Warner, Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell.
Here are the fixtures for the new season on the road to the final on 3 September:
