Manchester Originals batter Lizelle Lee in action
A look into the teams
Manchester Originals have had a great campaign in The Hundred. This season, the franchise is returning with an explosive batting lineup. Recently retired Proteas batter Lizelle Lee announced her move to Manchester, the 30-year old left the stage last year as one of the most talked about batter. In addition to that, Emma Lamb, (The ICC player of the month) who has been performing phenomenally for England has been retained in the squad.
The Trent Rockets have received a huge blow after Meg Lanning announced that she would be taking a break from cricket. But all's well for the Rockets as all-rounders Nat Sciver and Kim Garth come back into the squad alongside celebrated leg-spinner Alana King and swing master Katherine Brunt. The squad looks well-balanced and will hopefully make their mark this season.
