    As a cricket lover from Liverpool, going to find it hard to support a team named Manchester, could have given it a global area name like they've done for the Yorkshire-based team. P.s. best sporting city is obviously Liverpool, come on KJT

    If you're just joining us the top line from The Hundred draft is that England all-rounder Ben Stokes was selected instead of Test captain Joe Root for the Leeds-based Northern Superchargers.

    Root will play for the Nottingham-based Trent Rockets, while England fast bowler Jofra Archer will represent Southampton-based Southern Brave.

    The eight new teams for next year had the chance to draft England's male red-ball contracted players on Thursday.

    Seam bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad were not chosen.

    In a separate selection process on the day the competition was officially launched with team names, badges and kits also unveiled, England women's captain Heather Knight was picked by Lord's-based London Spirit.

    The men's and women's Hundred will run from 17 July to 16 August 2020.

  9. 'Cardiff is an amazing place'published at 13:40 British Summer Time 3 October 2019

    England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow, who will play for Welsh Fire: "I enjoy Cardiff, I made my England debut there and it's an amazing place.

    "It's a new competition, a new format and new teams. It will feel weird going to Headingley and being in the away dressing room, but it's an amazing honour to be one of the guys to figurehead a team."

  10. Postpublished at 13:35 British Summer Time 3 October 2019

    The England Test players selected will all be paid by the England and Wales Cricket Board as part of their central contracts.

    The eight men's teams were also able to negotiate with and select two local 'icon' players from their catchment counties.

    England white-ball captain Eoin Morgan was picked by London Spirit, all-rounder Moeen Ali joined Birmingham Phoenix and opener Jason Roy will play for Oval Invincibles, with all three players awarded the maximum £125,000 contract.

    South Africa's Colin Ingram is the only non-England qualified player chosen so far and will play for the Welsh Fire, alongside England batsman Jonny Bairstow and opener Tom Banton, who was recently called up by England for the five Twenty20s in New Zealand in November.

    I neglected to clarify that Stuart Broad and James Anderson have not been selected by anyone in the draft. Yet.

    Joe Root has had his say on who the Trent Rockets should be looking at in the main draft.

    “I think Mitchell Starc and Kane Williamson would be handy signings for us and who I would go after but thankfully I don’t have to make those decisions.”

    "2020 is shaping up to be a really exciting year for the development of women’s cricket, and The Hundred will be central to us getting more people watching, playing and following the game.”

  18. 'The wicket there is fantastic'published at 13:09 British Summer Time 3 October 2019

    More from Joe Root, who will play for Trent Rockets: “Obviously I have been associated with Yorkshire and that part of the world for a long period of time. It’ll always be home to me but I have big connections with Nottingham too.

    "My Dad played there as a Colt and in the junior teams and second team and I’ve always loved playing there too. It’s a great venue to be involved in. The wicket there is fantastic, there’s nice, small boundaries so it’s come together nicely in many ways.”

    Fake news - there's some peanuts and popcorn in there too.

    It is a shame we don't have the Manchester Monster Munch as a team, in my opinion.
