Farrant joins Oval Invincibles in The Hundred

Kent seamer Tash Farrant has been announced as the latest signing for the Oval Invincibles in The Hundred.

Head Coach Lydia Greenway’s team is beginning to take shape, with the left-armer adding to the international names already announced: Farrant’s Kent teammates, Fran Wilson and Laura Marsh, Australian vice-captain Rachael Haynes and South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk.

Farrant said: “The Hundred is going to be a really exciting opportunity and I’m looking forward to contributing to the team and hopefully helping us win games of cricket.

“The standard looks like it’s going to be really high from the players already announced and that’s really exciting for the women’s game.

“There’s a lot of noise around the tournament and hopefully we can attract lots of fans to come and watch us at The County Ground, Beckenham.”
