"MI London retain England all-rounders Sam Curran and Will Jacks for this season's Hundred and sign England batter Danni Wyatt-Hodge."
MI London kicks off their Hundred campaign with a bang, retaining England stars Sam Curran and Will Jacks while snapping up batter Danni Wyatt-Hodge. This trio from Surrey, who hold a 51% stake in the franchise, brings firepower to the rebranded side formerly known as Oval Invincibles.
Curran, the 27-year-old all-rounder, steps up as captain for the men's team. He's no stranger to big stages, boasting over 5,000 T20 runs and nearly 300 wickets, including a match-winning Player of the Match in England's 2022 T20 World Cup triumph. Jacks, a Surrey mainstay and Mumbai Indians IPL recruit, adds explosive batting with T20 centuries across formats. Wyatt-Hodge, England's top T20 run-scorer, shifts from Southern Brave where she clinched the 2023 Hundred title and ranks as the competition's second-highest run-getter ever.
Surrey Stars Lead New Era
This signing spree signals MI's global ambition, blending local heroes with the franchise's winning DNA. Curran and Jacks have been ever-present at Kia Oval, powering the Invincibles' three-peat. Wyatt-Hodge's flair will electrify the women's side. Both Curran and Jacks are eyed for England's T20 World Cup squad next month.
"This is a real statement of intent from our playing teams. In Sam and Will we have signed two of the best English white-ball cricketers there are." — Oli Slipper, MI London Chair
Fans in south London are buzzing as MI London eyes more silverware in The Hundred 2026.
