Numerous men’s and women’s Sussex players retained in The Hundred

Today’s announcement sees all eight men’s and women’s teams reveal which players from last year’s inaugural competition they are keeping hold of for 2022.

A total of twelve Sussex players were retained across five franchises, the breakdown of players can be seen below:

Carla Rudd

Danni Wyatt

The men’s squads will fill their remaining slots at The Hundred Draft on 30 March, where they will take turns to pick from the hundreds of domestic and international cricketers expected to sign up in search of earning a place in the competition.

New signings, both domestic and overseas, will be announced by the women’s side on the same day, including any England women’s stars who have signed for a new team in 2022.

For the first time, both men’s and women’s sides will be able to select an additional fourth overseas player for their squad in an overseas Wildcard Draft in June. Teams will still only be able to field three overseas players in their playing XI.

The women’s teams will be finalised through the open market signing process, which concludes at the end of June, giving domestic players plenty of motivation to catch the eye during the Charlotte Edwards Cup. The men’s squads will be finalised in early July with the domestic Wildcard Draft pick.
