The 2025 season sees Jimmy Anderson participate in The Hundred for the first time, as the jewel in the Manchester Originals setup. The ECB’s 100-ball domestic competition is now in its fifth season, and rumor has it that drastic changes are in the offing.
Heather Knight led London Spirit to a maiden women’s title last season, while the Oval Invincibles retained the men’s championship under Sam Billings. Nat Sciver-Brunt (Trent Rockets) and James Vince (Southern Brave) topped the run-scoring charts last time out, while Linsey Smith (Northern Superchargers) and Tymal Mills (Southern Brave) took the most wickets.
It’s going to be slightly surreal seeing Anderson, England’s record Test wicket-taker, in amongst the flashing stumps and psychotropic kits. He, along with every other bowler, can deliver a maximum of 20 per match, and up to 10 in a row. The other figure gernering huge interest is 17-year-old Rocky Flintoff, who’s playing under his father’s stewardship at the Northern Superchargers.
Big Money has officially got its claws into The Hundred, with Todd Boehly, Tom Brady, the Ambani family, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora amongst the latest investors. With a view to maximizing profits, they’re looking to expand The Hundred to 10 teams or more, and potentially even switch to the Twenty20 format.
