  1. 'Wolvaardt is a top quality player'

    I run the fan page on Instagram.

    Laura Wolvaardt! Wow, what a talent. Really excited to see her in action in the summer. Top quality player with the ability to change an innings as she has shown against the Originals with that match winning knock of 90*

    Really disappointed to see Crossy go the other way however! Really wished we could have kept her but I wish her all the best in the future and good luck at the Superchargers!

  5. 'Kaur & King in tandem is dangerous'

    Autumn
    Trent Rockets super fan

    WOW, didn’t see Harmanpreet Kaur coming! It’s amazing to have the experience of the Indian captain with us this year!! Her and Alana King in tandem will be dangerous!!

  6. 'Cross is a fantastic signing'

    Emily Easingwood
    Northern Superchargers super fan

    Fantastic result to have gained Kate Cross into the squad, an experienced England player who’s proven her ability over the last few years with the ball.

  7. Why Graham?

    Northern Superchargers

    She is primarily used in the middle overs where she has an economy rate of 6.54.

  8. Heather Graham to Northern Superchargers

    Northern Superchargers

    Another Australian joins the ranks as all-rounder Heather Graham signs for the Superchargers, and that completes their overseas slots.

  9. Why Tryon?

    Southern Brave

    She has a strike-rate of 147 at the death in T20s since the start of 2020.

  10. Chloe Tryon to Southern Brave

    Southern Brave

    Southern Brave get South Africa all-rounder Chloe Tryon!

    Serious power.

  11. Why Shrubsole?

    Southern Brave

    She has found an average of 2.1 degrees of swing in the powerplay since the start of 2020.

  12. Anya Shrubsole to Southern Brave

    Southern Brave

    Former England seamer Anya Shrubsole is staying put at Southern Brave.

  13. Georgia Wareham to Northern Superchargers

    Northern Superchargers

    Leg-spinners galore!

    Northern Superchargers get Australia's Georgia Wareham.

  14. Why Wellington?

    Manchester Originals

    She is the highest wicket-taking leg spinner with 173 wickets in T20s.

  15. Amanda-Jade Wellington to Manchester Originals

    Manchester Originals

    Big! Manchester Originals get Australian leg-spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington from Southern Brave.

    That completes the Originals' overseas signings.

  16. Why Glenn?

    London Spirit

    Strangely for a leg-spinner, she has a better economy rate against left-handers (5.67) than right-handers (6.34).

  17. Sarah Glenn to London Spirit

    London Spirit

    Here we go! London Spirit get England leg-spinner Sarah Glenn, on the move from Trent Rockets.

  18. The Coster Boys
    London Spirit super fans

    We are all ready for the draft... Let’s go Spirit!!!

  19. Phew, that was pretty chaotic! The signings came at us thick and fast, but that completes the signings in the top bracket.

    We'll have a bit of a breather before we go into the next price range, when London Spirit will be going first.

  20. Shock at Cross' move

    Henry Moeran
    BBC commentator at the draft in London

    Gasps from many watching on here as Lancashire and Manchester favourite Kate Cross moves across the Pennines to join the Superchargers.
