London Spirit have undergone a significant transformation ahead of the 2026 edition of The Hundred, with a new-look squad and a fresh sense of purpose. The team, which has struggled to make an impact in previous seasons, is determined to turn its fortunes around.
Revamped squad
The Spirit have brought in several new players, including overseas stars and domestic talent, to bolster their lineup. Key signings include Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and England batter Danielle Wyatt, who will provide experience and firepower. The team has also retained some core players from last year, ensuring a blend of continuity and change.
Renewed ambition
Head coach Trevor Bayliss expressed optimism about the team's prospects. “We’ve got a really balanced squad this year,” he said. “The players have bought into the vision, and there’s a real energy around the group. We’re not just here to make up the numbers – we want to be competitive and challenge for the title.”
The Spirit will begin their campaign against Welsh Fire at Lord’s on August 1. With a stronger squad and a clear goal, London Spirit hope to finally live up to their potential in The Hundred.
