Trent Rockets finalise squads for The Hundred with four new additions
Trent Rockets have completed their squads for the 2026 edition of The Hundred, with four exciting additions joining the team in this morning's Vitality Wildcard Draft.
Lancashire batter Eve Jones and Warwickshire all-rounder Amu Surenkumar have joined Chris Read's women's squad, while Northamptonshire bowler Ben Sanderson and Durham all-rounder Ben Raine complete Peter Moores' men's line-up.
The four players become the final pieces of the puzzle as Trent Rockets prepare for another summer of world-class cricket, big entertainment and unforgettable matchdays at Trent Bridge.
The Rockets have also confirmed two of world cricket’s most exciting leaders as captains, with Sam Billings taking charge of the men’s team and Ash Gardner returning to lead the women’s side.
Eve Jones arrives in outstanding form, leading the way in the Metro Bank One Day Cup with 499 runs already this season, while rising star Amu Surenkumar has impressed with both bat and ball, scoring 253 runs and taking four wickets for Warwickshire.
Chris Read, Trent Rockets Women Head Coach, said: “I'm thrilled. Amu Surenkumar is a very gifted batter, offers a nice amount with the ball, and is a great fielder as well.
"She can add to the game in all facets, and Eve Jones has been one of the best domestic batters for probably a decade now.
“I think we've got a really rounded, strong squad. I can't wait to see them out on the field and see what they can do.”
The additions take the Trent Rockets women's squad to 17 players, led by England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and packed with international talent including Australian stars Ash Gardner and Beth Mooney.
On the men's side, Ben Sanderson returns after helping the Rockets reach last year's final, while Raine arrives following another impressive Vitality Blast campaign.
Peter Moores, Trent Rockets Men Head Coach, said: “I’m really pleased, because we’ve added two really exciting players who bring different things, and experience, to our squad.
“Ben Sanderson can pick up where he left off last year, when he showed a real ability to handle pressure as well as delivery skills.
“In Ben Raine, we’ve got an all-rounder who’s grown and grown as a player over the last several years, and who has huge experience, which we really want in our group.
“Both will help balance our squad, and we’re really looking forward to getting them both in.”
Sophie Munro and Sophie Luff will replace Grace Johnson and Ailsa Lister respectively, following them being withdrawn from the competition.
With squads now locked in, Trent Rockets fans can look forward to a summer packed with explosive batting, explosive bowling and edge-of-your-seat entertainment.
From England stars Nat Sciver-Brunt and Ben Duckett to global stars Ash Gardner, Beth Mooney, Tim David and Finn Allen, the Rockets are loaded with match-winners ready to light up Trent Bridge this summer.
