Australia’s limited-overs captain Aaron Finch will lead Northern Superchargers in the inaugural edition of The Hundred. The much-awaited competition will get underway next year. The league will consist of eight city-based franchise teams, each of which will field both a men’s and women’s team. Along with Finch, Lauren Winfield has been named the captain for the women’s side.

Finch is no stranger to playing in England’s domestic circuit, having previously plied his trade in county cricket for Surrey and Yorkshire. What will make things easier for him is the presence of former Australia coach Darren Lehmann in the backroom staff as head coach. One of the best limited-overs batsmen at present, Finch has done a fine job as Australia’s captain after taking over from Tim Paine.

Earlier this year, he led his side to T20I and ODI series wins in India before guiding them to a thumping 5-0 win over Pakistan. In the World Cup, Australia made it to the semifinal and recently blanked Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series. Australia are currently playing against Pakistan and have taken an unassailable lead in the series.
