September 2019 saw the opening of player registration for The Hundred, in both the Men's Competition and the Women's Competition.
While selection in the Men's Competition was via a Player Draft on 20 October - the first-ever of its kind in UK sport - the Women's Competition has a separate bespoke player selection process, with players selected across a two-stage, open-market system, with a standardised salary band structure.
Stage One
England Stars
During stage one of the player selection process (1 September - 30 September), each team was obliged to sign two players from the current 22-strong England Women’s central contract list. View the list of selections by clicking here.

Stage two of the player selection process (1 October 2019 - 30 May 2020) will then see each team sign their remaining 13 players from across three different player pools: the remaining England Women’s centrally contracted players, overseas players and domestic players.
Teams can sign a maximum of one further England women’s centrally contracted player during stage two and can sign a maximum of three overseas players.
