After some thrilling international cricket, the English summer turns toward the latest edition of The Hundred, which gets underway on Tuesday evening.
All the big England guns will be looking to guide their teams to glory, including Harry Brook, Jos Buttler, Joe Root, Jofra Archer, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell and many, many more.
Last year, it was the Oval Invincibles who reigned supreme as the team from London collected their third consecutive title – a quite phenomenal record.
The Invincibles beat the Trent Rockets by 26 runs in the big finale at Lord’s, with another England star in Will Jacks hitting 72 runs off 41 deliveries.
Now this year, the Invincibles team has been rebranded as MI London, with Indian Premier League investors pumping even more cash into the 100-ball bonanza.
The Northern Superchargers are now Sunrisers Leeds, while the Manchester Originals title has been tinkered slightly to Manchester Super Giants.
But while a few of the names have changed, the action on the pitches up and down the UK will deliver the same levels of sporting drama which we have become accustomed to.
Check out our quick preview for the latest edition of The Hundred, which features the latest outright cricket odds from the NetBet Sport platform.
