ICC Women's T20 World Cup Coming To Southampton
Seven venues have been confirmed to host the tournament in 2026
The Hundred draft has been completed, with two Hampshire players drafted, bringing the total number of Hampshire stars involved in the competition to 17 across seven of the eight teams.
Batter Ella McCaughan has moved to Manchester Originals having been at Welsh Fire last summer, whilst left arm spinner Bex Tyson has been picked up in the competition for the first time and will head to Lord’s with London Spirit.
Hampshire and Southern Brave men’s head coach Adi Birrell chose New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell as his first pick in the draft and signed former Hampshire quick bowler Reece Topley and Yorkshire’s Jordan Thompson.
