The action-packed league The Hundred 2022 will feature eight men’s and as many women’s teams, who will be competing for the glory for the entirety of the summer season. The franchises will be allowed to recruit 15 players in their contingents including four overseas players.

The men’s competition will roll into action on August 3, while the women’s competition is set to commence on August 11. The finals of the event will be contested on September 3, 2022.

The Hundred features world-class players and huge names from all over the world and is played with a rather different set of rules.

In this different format of the game, each inning is comprised of 100 balls, while the fielding side changes after every 10 deliveries.

According to the rules, each bowler will be allowed to ball a maximum of 20 balls in the match and can bowl either five or 10 consecutive deliveries, which will be up to the decision of his skipper.

Furthermore, each batting side can avail the powerplay of 25 balls in the inning, which will be the first 25 balls. This restriction prevents the opposition from fielding more than two players outside of the 30-yard circle.

The league will also feature three Pakistan pacers – Wahab Riaz, Naseem Shah, and Mohammad Hasnain, who will be representing Northern Superchargers, Welsh Fires, and Oval Invincibles respectively.

Oval Invincibles pick Mohammad Hasnain for The Hundred 2022

LONDON: The Hundred’s franchise Oval Invincibles have selected Pakistan’s right-arm pacer, Mohammad Hasnain as the Overseas Wildcard pick for the upcoming second edition.

Hasnain, who was reported for an illegal bowling action during his brief stint for the Sydney Thunders in this year’s Big Bash League (BBL), has been picked by The Hundred’s franchise Oval Invincibles after clearing his bowling action today.

The young pacer’s bowling was declared legal by Cricket Australia (CA)’s independent experts today as the former underwent remodelling of his action at ICC’s accredited centre in Lahore.

Following this, Hasnain is set to be in action again as the right-arm pacer will represent Oval Invincibles in The Hundred 2022.

“I’m overjoyed. The Hundred looked like great fun last year and I can’t wait to get involved. The opportunity to play alongside stars like Sunil Narine, Jason Roy and the Curran brothers is hugely exciting,” Hasnain stated.

Apart from the Pakistani pacer, Welsh Fire and Birmingham Pheonix have selected big names such as Imran Tahir and Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad in their wildcard picks.
