Northern Superchargers Squad 2022

One of the most followed franchises in the competition known as “The Hundred” is the Northern Superchargers. And one of the prime reasons is the leading all-rounder in world cricket, Ben Stokes. The team is based in a city called “Leeds” in England. It represents two county clubs, named North East and Yorkshire, in the competition.

In 2019, the franchise named David Willey as their skipper for the men’s cricket team. However, this edition might see Faf du Plessis leading the team. Speaking of their coaches, James Foster is the head coach of the men’s team. On the other hand, Danielle Hazell is the head coach of the women’s team.

However, despite having big names in their ranks, the Northern Superchargers had a poor outing in the first edition of the competition. With only three wins out of eight matches, the men’s squad finished in fifth place. While the women’s team ended up in 6th place with three wins. The home ground for both is Headingley.
