London Spirit are a franchise 100-ball cricket side based in North London. The team represents the historic counties of Middlesex, Essex and Northamptonshire in The Hundred, which took place for the first time during the 2021 English and Welsh cricket season. Both the men's and women's sides play their home games at Lord's.
History
The announcement of the new eight-team men's and women's tournament series in 2019 was not without controversy, with the likes of Virat Kohli criticising the England and Wales Cricket Board for pursuing a shift away from Test cricket, while others argued the format should have followed the established and successful Twenty20 format. The ECB however decided it needed a more unique format to draw crowds.
In August 2019 the side announced that former Australian spinner Shane Warne would be the men's team's first coach, while former Australia Women coach Lisa Keightley was appointed coach of the Women's team.
The inaugural Hundred draft took place in October 2019 and saw the Spirit claim Rory Burns as their headline men's draftee, and Heather Knight as the women's headliner. They are joined by England One-Day captain Eoin Morgan and Essex's Dan Lawrence for the men's team, while Freya Davies joins Knight in the women's side.
The team's home ground is Lord's Cricket Ground, one of the most iconic cricket venues in the world. The team's logo features a lion, which represents the team's fighting spirit and determination to win.
London Spirit has a strong squad of players, including some of the best cricketers from England and around the world. The team's batting line-up includes the likes of Zak Crawley, Joe Denly, and Ravi Bopara, while their bowling attack is led by Mohammad Amir, Mark Wood, and Mason Crane.
The team's head coach is Shane Warne, one of the greatest cricketers of all time. Warne brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team, having played at the highest level for over a decade.
London Spirit is a team that is full of potential and has the ability to compete with the best teams in the tournament. With a strong squad and an experienced coach, the team is expected to put up a good fight and entertain cricket fans around the world.
