Ben Stokes is highly likely to make his eagerly-anticipated return to The Hundred as the star allrounder is understood to be available for Northern Superchargers to feature in the second half of the group stage.
As per a report by ESPNcricinfo, Stokes has been made available by England Cricket and will return to Superchargers for the first time since the inaugural edition.
The England red-ball captain played two games for Superchargers in 2021 and if things go as per plan he will reunite with former England allrounder Andrew Flintoff who is the head coach of the side.
Notably, The Hundred 2024 gets underway with a clash between Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix at The Oval on July 23. England’s premier 100-ball tournament will be without its star attraction initially as the English men’s team is currently rubbing shoulders with West Indies in a three-match series and a lot of its overseas players are presently lighting up stadiums in the USA with the Major League Cricket running full throttle.
