The Hundred 2026: MI London signs Sam Curran, Will Jacks and Danny White Hodge

She reached the final four times with her former club, winning in 2023, and is the competition’s second-highest all-time goalscorer.

Teams are allowed to sign outright or retain four players before the auction – a new addition for this season – scheduled for March.

The men’s team, which had won the competition as the Invincibles for the past three years with a stable, faced a tough choice about who to keep.

In Curran and Jacks, they have picked two powerful batsmen, while Curran is also a left-arm seam bowler and Jacks is an out-of-spin option.

England internationals Sam Billings, who captained the team, Tom Curran, Gus Atkinson, Saqib Mahmood and Jordan Cox – all of whom played exclusively for the Invincibles – were among the players not retained.

Although teams are limited to four signings in the pre-auction period, they can re-sign former players in the event.

White-Hodge provides the women’s team, which won the first two titles but has not returned to the final since, with a historic signing.

All three play for Surrey, which has a 51% ownership stake in MI London, where Curran is also T20 captain.

“This is a real statement of intent from our teams,” MI London boss Olly Slipper said.

“In Sam and Will, we have signed two of the best English cricketers ever.

“Dani is a fan favorite in South London with performances for Surrey and England and has already tasted success at Kia Oval.

“She has been prolific at The Hundred and is one of the most exciting players in the game.”

The 2026 season is MI London’s first since Reliance Industries Limited bought a 49% stake in the franchise.
