Moeen Ali and Sophie Devine will captain the men's and women's teams of the Birmingham Phoenix in the inaugural edition of The Hundred to be played next year.

Ali, a World Cup winner, grew up a short distance from Edgbaston, where the team is based. "Birmingham is my city and captaining my home team in The Hundred is right up there in terms of my career I was born, raised and my life is still based in Birmingham, so to be the first-ever men's captain of Birmingham Phoenix is very special for me," Ali said in a statement.
