The ECB has introduced the Hundred, a competition which will comprise 100 balls per innings with a change of ends at every 10 deliveries. The tournament was set to start last year, but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sarah Taylor was recently in the news after she joined the Sussex’s Men’s team as a member of the coaching staff. The wicketkeeper revealed she had a few training sessions before taking up the offer to play in the Hundred Women’s League.
The league starts on July 21, with the Oval Invincibles taking on Manchester Originals. The Men’s edition is slated to begin on July 22.
Sarah Taylor has been a stalwart in the women’s game, and is widely regarded as one of the best wicketkeepers of all time. The 31-year-old was part of the England side that won the T20 and ODI World Cups in 2009.
“Batting like I was in 2006,” says Sarah Taylor
Sarah Taylor represented England in 10 Tests, 126 ODIs and 90 T20 games before bowing out of international cricket. The wicketkeeper is now excited about her comeback and believes she is batting as she did during her initial years.
Some top women cricketers, including Meg Lanning (Fire), Sophie Molineux (Trent Rockets) and Alyssa Healy (Northern Superchargers) will also participate in the inaugural edition of the Hundred.
