Coaches: Darren Lehmann take responsibility for the men’s side by bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role. He won victories when Australia won the 1999 World Cup, one of the 117 countries he played for ODI, and he piled up at the Emerald Headingley with Yorkshire. As a coach, his success has continued as he once did as Australia’s head coach, winning two Ashes series and the 2015 World Cup. The women’s side leads Dani Hazell, a former England coach who retired in 2019 and is a Northern Diamonds coach in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. As part of the England World Cup in 2017 and a two-time Ashes winner, he knows what success requires.

Men’s Star Players: “You can’t do that, Ben Stokes! “Oh, but he can – you name it, chances are England’s versatile player can do it. He’s not a global cricket superstar. Then it’s Adil Rashid, The English leggie has been consistently brilliant on the international stage for many years and can find himself bowling along with the mystery puck Mujeeb Ur Rahman – an attractive opportunity. Great hit Australian Chris Lynn and the former English left-handed Adam Lyth could also offer one of the most intimidating open pairs in the competition.

Women’s Star Players: Exploded the scene and made him international at the age of 16 Jemimah Rodrigues, now 20 years old, has become the game’s future superstar, and The Hundred could provide India’s right-hand man with the perfect stage to start exploiting its enormous potential. Winner of the English World Cup Lauren Winfield-Hill has a strong presence at the top of the order and captains the page while it is closed on the puck Katie Levick has taken more gates in English cricket than any other bowler in the women’s game, and now has the opportunity to prove himself worthy of an international invitation.

How far can a men’s team go? As Stokes continues to strive to reach his full fitness and set out on a test result in early August, the superchargers will lose superstar quality. However, as both a player and a coach, Lehmann has shown that he knows how to win, and while his spouse may not be among the pre-tournament favorites, top and highly experienced players like Captain Faf du Plessis, Rashid and David Willey and an exciting group of younger players – Brydon Carse, Harry Brook, Jordan Thompson, Callum Parkinson – he feels he has the tools to resist odds.

How far can a women’s team go? On paper, Hazell’s side should be considered outsiders, but the 100-ball shape is expected to produce a lot of tight surfaces, allowing lesser-known players to make a name for themselves and if their big names can rise in times of pressure, then there’s no reason why they can’t surprise a few people and push the final day.

The Hundred begins a women’s match between the Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals at The Kia Oval on Wednesday, July 21, and the men’s race begins a day later at the same venue.
