The selections were based on performances in this season’s Vitality Blast and Charlotte Edwards Cup, and mean that all eight men’s and women’s Hundred sides now have full squads, ahead of the competition’s fourth edition, from July 23 to August 18.
“I’m really happy to have been drafted by Southern Brave,” Luff said. “The Hundred is a great competition to be a part of, so I’m really happy to have been picked up and it’s especially great to have been selected by Charlotte Edwards. I’m really looking forward to the competition and adding value where I can.”
Six replacement players have also been announced for the men’s and women’s competitions, including Tom Aspinwall and Scott Currie, who are stepping in at Manchester Originals for Fred Klaassen and Josh Tongue.
Emma Jones will take over from Ailsa Lister at Birmingham Phoenix women, while Australia’s Charli Knott will be available for Brave’s first two women’s matches, in place of Smriti Mandhana.
Another Australian, Laura Harris, will deputise for Sri Lanka’s Chamari Athapaththu for Oval Invincibles’ opening two fixtures, while New Zealand’s Suzie Bates stands in for India’s Richa Ghosh for the first three games at Phoenix.
