Sophia Smale will be the youngest Welsh player in The Hundred tournament after a late call-up to the Oval Invincibles.

Welsh Fire pair Alex Griffiths and Claire Nicholas, and Birmingham Phoenix's Gwen Davies, are the other Welsh women in the Hundred.

Smale has been picked by the south London side after an injury to Emma Jones.

Batter Phil Salt, born in Bodelwyddan, is the only Welshman in the tournament, representing Manchester Originals.
