The Hundred 2026 squads

Find out who has signed for which team for the 2026 men's and women's Hundred competitions.

The Hundred 2026 squads

Players Rashid Khan, Kate Cross, and Liam Livingstone have all signed agreements to compete in The Hundred for 2026. The inaugural player auction concluded, and squads for the eight participating teams are now assembled. Unlike the previous draft system, the auction will determine team composition and salaries for the upcoming editions.

Each team will consist of between 16 to 18 players, and a salary cap, along with a salary collar, will be enforced. The men's competition salary pot for 2026 has risen by 45% to £2.05m per side, while the fund for women's teams has increased by 100% to £880,000. Several prominent players have received substantial deals; James Coles earned £390,000 in the men's auction, while Danielle Gibson, Issy Wong, and 18-year-old spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman each secured deals exceeding £100,000.

In the men's competition, Joe Root and Adil Rashid also attracted significant offers. Each team will have the opportunity to add two wildcard picks following the T20 Blast tournament. Here is a glimpse of the proposed squads before the 2026 season.
