Tom Curran will be playing at his home ground alongside brother and fellow England international Sam who was retained by Oval Invincibles last month. Renowned for his death bowling ability in white-ball cricket, Tom has featured in high profile leagues across the world including the Big Bash and the IPL. Tom Curran said, “I am thrilled to be playing for Oval Invincibles. I love playing at the Kia Oval and it will be special to play in the first season of The Hundred at my home ground. “I think The Hundred is an incredibly exciting competition and I’m really looking forward to it. We are building a strong squad with a number of local players which I hope will help us be successful next summer.” Georgia Adams starred for Southern Vipers in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy this summer, leading the side to the trophy with over 500 runs including an incredible 154* in what was a breakout tournament for the Sussex-based batter. Georgia Adams said, “I can’t wait for next year so we can finally get the long- awaited chance to compete in The Hundred. It will definitely be the spectacle of the summer and I’m particularly looking forward to playing a format of cricket where I can express myself as a batter and play expansive cricket.
