MI London have retained England all-rounders Sam Curran and Will Jacks for the 2026 men's Hundred, while also signing England batter Danni Wyatt-Hodge for the women's competition. Curran, 27, will captain the franchise, which recently underwent a takeover from Oval Invincibles. This move signals the new ownership's intent to build around established English talent as the competition evolves.

Curran and Jacks were named in England's T20 World Cup squad, highlighting their current form. Wyatt-Hodge joins from Southern Brave, bringing championship pedigree having won the title in 2023. Teams could retain four players before the March auction, forcing difficult choices for the Invincibles' legacy squad. They opted for batting power over other established names like Sam Billings.

MI London chair Oli Slipper called the signings a "statement of intent." The franchise, now 51% owned by Surrey, sees Curran as a key leader. Wyatt-Hodge adds star power to a women's side seeking a return to finals. With Reliance Industries holding a 49% stake, the 2026 season marks a new era for the London-based team.
