Somerset players retained on The Hundred Deadline Day
A number of Somerset players have been named by the sides taking part in The Hundred this summer.
12 direct signings have been confirmed on Deadline Day in The Hundred, with the eight teams finalising their retentions and forming their squads ahead of The Hundred Draft on March 12th.
Charlie Dean and Dani Gibson will line up for current champions London Spirit whilst Amanda-Jade Wellington will represent Oval Invincibles.
It is the first time teams have been able to sign one men’s and one women’s player directly, rather than having to sign players through The Hundred Draft.
The teams will largely complete their squads at The Hundred Draft on March 12th, with May’s Vitality Wildcard Draft – where teams can add two final men’s and women’s players, rewarding players who’ve been stand-out performers in domestic cricket – the final chance for teams to add to their group.
In the men’s competition, Will Smeed will play for Birmingham Phoenix, Craig Overton will represent Southern Brave, Tom Banton will feature for Trent Rockets whilst Welsh Fire have retained Tom Abell and Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
