The Hundred

Trent Rockets are a franchise 100-ball cricket side based in the city of Nottingham. The team represents Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire in The Hundred competition, ^[1] which took place for the first time in the 2021 English and Welsh cricket season. Both the men's and women's sides play at Trent Bridge.

History

See also: The Hundred (cricket)

While early reports described the Hundred as "city-based", ^[2] by March 2019 it was being reported that the Trent Bridge-based franchise would feature the locator "Trent", and this was confirmed in May when the England and Wales Cricket Board applied to trademark the name.

Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire had no centrally contracted players, so the Rockets signed Yorkshire's Joe Root as their England red-ball player, and Nottinghamshire's Harry Gurney and Alex Hales as "Local Icons". ^[3]

In February 2021 the side announced that former Zimbabwe cricketer Andy Flower would be the men's team's first coach, while former Yorkshire women's player Salliann Briggs was appointed coach of the Women's team. ^[4]

The inaugural Hundred draft took place in October 2019 and saw the Rockets claim Joe Root as their headline men's draftee, and Natalie Sciver as the women's headliner. They are joined by England internationals Alex Hales and Dawid Malan for the men's team, while Katherine Brunt joins Sciver in the women's side. ^[5]

As part of the 2025 Hundred sale, the ECB granted Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club a 51% stake in the franchise, with the remaining 49% sold through an auction process. Cain & Ares acquired the 49% share, while Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club retained its stake. The sale of the Rockets was completed in October 2025. ^{[6] [7]}
