It's a new competition in which eight freshly formed teams, representing seven cities from around the UK, compete against each other. Each team has both a men's and women's side.</p><p>The format of matches? That's simple too: 100 balls per team, most runs wins.</p><h3 class="sp-story-body__cross-head">When is it?</h3><p>In an effort to attract more families to the game, the competition will be played in the school summer holidays - from 17 July to 16 August, 2020. Teams will play each other once, apart from their paired 'rivals', whom they meet twice (home and away). There will be 32 league matches in total, with the top three finishers competing in the Finals Day (top team automatically reaches the final, with second versus third for the other spot in the final).</p><p>The paired rivals (play each other twice) are: Leeds and Manchester, the two London teams, Birmingham and Nottingham and Southampton and Cardiff.</p><h3 class="sp-story-body__cross-head">Who will Ben Stokes and England's other World Cup winners play for?</h3><figure class="sp-media-asset "><div class="sp-media-asset__body media"> <div class="sp-media-asset__image gel-responsive-image" style="padding-bottom:48%"> <!--[if !lte IE 8 | !IE]><!--><img class="sp-lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20191004022655/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/{width}{hidpi}/cpsprodpb/B6E0/production/_108961864_stokes.jpg" data-sizes="auto" alt="Ben Stokes Headingley shot"><!--<![endif]--><!--[if lte IE 8]><img src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/160/cpsprodpb/B6E0/production/_108961864_stokes.jpg" class="" /><![endif]--></div> </div> <figcaption class="sp-media-asset__caption gel-brevier ">Ben Stokes was selected by Northern Superchargers in the competition's initial draft</figcaption></figure><div class="sp-story-body__table-container"><table class="sp-story-body__table"><thead><tr><th>Team</th><th>Men's players</th><th>Women's players</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Birmingham Phoenix</td><td>Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Pat Brown</td><td>Amy Jones, Kirstie Gordon</td></tr><tr><td>London Spirit</td><td>Rory Burns, Dan Lawrence, Eoin Morgan</td><td>Heather Knight, Freya Davies</td></tr><tr><td>Manchester Originals</td><td>Jos Buttler, Saqib Mahmood, Matt Parkinson</td><td>Kate Cross, Sophie Ecclestone</td></tr><tr><td>Northern Superchargers</td><td>Ben Stokes, Adil Rashid, David Willey</td><td>Lauren Winfield, Linsey Smith</td></tr><tr><td>Oval Invincibles</td><td>Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Jason Roy</td><td>Laura Marsh, Fran Wilson</td></tr><tr><td>Southern Brave</td><td>Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, James Vince</td><td>Anya Shrubsole, Danni Wyatt</td></tr><tr><td>Trent Rockets</td><td>Joe Root, Harry Gurney, Alex Hales</td><td>Nat Sciver, Katherine Brunt</td></tr><tr><td>Welsh Fire</td><td>Jonny Bairstow, Tom Banton, Colin Ingram</td><td>Katie George, Bryony Smith</td></tr></tbody></table></div><h3 class="sp-story-body__cross-head">How about the main draft?</h3><figure class="sp-media-asset "><div class="sp-media-asset__body media"> <div class="sp-media-asset__image gel-responsive-image" style="padding-bottom:48%"> <!--[if !lte IE 8 | !IE]><!--><img class="sp-lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20191004022655/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/{width}{hidpi}/cpsprodpb/A89F/production/_108976134_archer.jpg" data-sizes="auto" alt="Jofra Archer and Steve Smith"><!--<![endif]--><!--[if lte IE 8]><img src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/160/cpsprodpb/A89F/production/_108976134_archer.jpg" class="" /><![endif]--></div> </div> <figcaption class="sp-media-asset__caption gel-brevier ">Steve Smith and Jofra Archer were involved in some fascinating duels during last summer's Ashes</figcaption></figure><p>On 20 October, the remaining places in the 15-man squads will be filled via a full draft - West Indies batsman Chris Gayle and Australia duo David Warner and Steve Smith <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20191004022655/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49887057">have made themselves available</a> for the tournament. </p><p>There are seven set salary bands, with up to two players to be picked at each of the following: &pound;125,000, &pound;100,000, &pound;75,000, &pound;60,000, &pound;50,000, &pound;40,000 and &pound;30,000.
