Most Valuable Player: London Spirit have entrusted England all-rounder Liam Livingstone with the captaincy of their men's side for the upcoming season of The Hundred, handing leadership responsibilities to one of the competition's most explosive and accomplished performers.

The 31-year-old arrives with a wealth of experience from international cricket and franchise leagues worldwide, having established himself as one of England's premier white-ball cricketers.

“I am really looking forward to leading London Spirit out at Lord’s this summer. It’s an iconic ground and with the largest crowds in the country, I know the fans will create a special atmosphere for every match. There is so much talent throughout the squad and I want us to make some history this summer. I can’t wait to get started,” Liam said in a statement released by the franchise.
