The Hundred: Chris Woakes and Jamie Smith join Welsh Fire and London Spirit in Central Contract Draft

Chris Woakes and Jamie Smith have secured the last two deals in The Hundred in the England Central Contract Draft.

All-rounder Woakes has joined Welsh Fire, while wicketkeeper-batter Smith has moved to London Spirit.

Woakes and Smith were contracted to Birmingham Phoenix for the 2024 edition of The Hundred.

England's remaining red-ball and white-ball men's players with central contract points have two additional routes to secure a contract - The Hundred Draft and The Hundred Wildcard Draft.

The Draft takes place on March 12, with a final chance to make squad additions coming at May's Wildcard Draft, where teams can add two final men's and women's players, rewarding stand-out performers in domestic cricket.

The Hundred returns on August 5 at Lord's with a London derby men's and women's double-header between London Spirit and defending champions Oval Invincibles.
