Sussex captain Georgia Adams has been re-signed by Oval Invincibles for the first edition of The Hundred next summer.

Reacting to her deal, the 27-year-old opening batter said: “I can’t wait for next year so we can finally get the long-awaited chance to compete in The Hundred. It will definitely be the spectacle of the summer and I’m particularly looking forward to playing a format of cricket where I can express myself as a batter and play expansive cricket.

“I’m excited about joining up with my teammates at Oval Invincibles and getting the opportunity to be based at one of the top cricket grounds in the country.”

Georgia was the leading run-scorer in this summer’s Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, amassing 500 runs in seven innings for tournament winners Southern Vipers. She averaged 83.33 and top-scored with an unbeaten 154 against Western Storm in the southern group. Her 80 against Northern Diamonds was central to the Vipers’ victory in the final at Edgbaston.
