The London Spirit: India woman all-rounder Deepti Sharma is set to make her return to The Hundred 2024, signing with the London Spirit as a replacement for the injured Grace Harris. Deepti, who previously played for the Spirit in the competition’s inaugural season in 2021, will rejoin the team after the Asia Cup in Dambulla.

Deepti’s arrival is eagerly anticipated, though she will miss the start of the competition due to her commitments with the Indian national team. The London Spirit will rely on Erin Burns to cover Deepti’s absence for the first two games. Burns, already in the UK playing for the Northern Diamonds, is a capable interim replacement until Deepti joins the squad.

The Hundred begins on July 23, with the London Spirit set to play their opening match against Southern Brave on July 24. Deepti is one of three Indian players slated to participate in The Hundred this season, alongside Richa Ghosh (Birmingham Phoenix) and Smriti Mandhana (Southern Brave).
