The Hundred's fourth year gets under way at The Kia Oval on Tuesday July 23 with an Oval Invincibles vs Birmingham Phoenix double-header.

Northern Superchargers and England Women bowler Kate Cross said: "It's great to be retained by Northern Superchargers. We came pretty close last time round, and we want to build on that this year.

"I think we've got a really good group of players to build on, it's always good to keep the core of a successful team together.

"The Hundred is an amazing competition to play in. The atmosphere is always fantastic, and the cricket really seemed to go to a new level last season. I'm looking forward to being back at Headingley in front of our fans."

Trent Rockets all-rounder Rashid Khan said: "I'm so glad to be back at Trent Rockets for The Hundred this season. I was really disappointed to have to miss the competition last year, and it's exciting to be able to return and hopefully to help the team to progress.

"We have kept our squad together since the first year and I think that will help us. I'm really excited about getting back in front of the fans at Trent Bridge."
