The teams for the first edition of The Hundred were selected at Sunday night's draft in London.
England's man of the moment, Ben Stokes, who edged Test captain Joe Root as the landmark pick of the Headingley side, believes the competition represents a step up for the domestic calendar.
"It's our change that we've put to the game of cricket," said Stokes.
Root went even a step further saying that The Hundred model "has a chance to improve the Test game."
