We're only two fixtures in to the tournament but both matches showed how exciting this format can be with close games between Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals.

Warwickshire Women's Captain Marie will be playing alongside a host of star names including England and Warwickshire wicket-keeper Amy Jones, explosive Indian opener Shafali Verma and exciting local fast-bowler and Rubik's Cube expert Issy Wong.

England Internationals Kirstie Gordon and Georgia Elwiss are also in the squad together with Aussies Erin Burns and Katie Mack. There's also one or two local players who have appeared against Earlswood teams in recent years including Ria Fackrell and Thea Brookes for Corley and Pershore respectively.

The men's squad is equally exciting headed up by local boy Moeen Ali, supported by Warwickshire legends Chris Woakes and Dom Sibley and a return to Edgbaston for South African maverick Imran Tahir.

England big-hitting star Liam Livingstone will be fun to watch alongside a number that have been lighting up the T20 Blast including New Zealander Finn Allen for Lancashire and exciting prospect Will Smeed for Somerset.

Another local lad Pat Brown will hopefully be showing why he was the leading wicket-taker in the T20 Blast for Worcestershire in 2019 earning him a place on England's T20 tour of New Zealand.

Go well Marie ... do us proud!
