"Manchester SuperGiants, Southern Brave, London Spirit and Welsh Fire are yet to announce their retentions and direct signings"
Sam Curran, Harry Brook and Ellyse Perry spearhead bold retentions as Hundred 2026 auction buzz ignites. Three-time men's champs MI London (ex-Oval Invincibles) lock Curran, Will Jacks and women's Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, ditching last year's batter Jordan Cox (327 runs) and skipper Sam Billings.
Up north, Sunrisers Leeds (ex-Northern Superchargers) snag Brook, Brydon Carse, plus Nathan Ellis and Mitchell Marsh for men; Kate Cross, Phoebe Litchfield, Annabel Sutherland for women. These moves signal aggressive rebuilds blending local stars with global firepower.
Hundred Rebrand Shakes Retentions
Indian fans eyeing T20 parallels will love Marsh's Aussie aggression meeting Brook's explosive form. Letting go Cox—Player of the Series—raises eyebrows, but Curran's all-round nous promises Bazball-esque entertainment. Auction drama sets stage for 2026 summer sizzlers.
