London [UK], February 22 (ANI): Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues are the only two Indian players who have been retained by the respective franchises for the upcoming edition of the Hundred.
Rodrigues (Nothern Superchargers) and Mandhana (Brave) are the only two Indian internationals to have been retained while Sophie Devine (Phoenix), Lizelle Lee (Manchester Originals), Laura Wolvaardt (Superchargers), and Hayley Matthews (Welsh Fire) complete the list of 12 overseas players to have signed up for the women’s competition so far, reported ESPNcricinfo.
Harmanpreet Kaur and Shafali Verma also played the Hundred last year but they have not been retained by their franchises.
