Birmingham Phoenix are a franchise 100-ball cricket side based in the city of Birmingham. The team represents the historic counties of Warwickshire and Worcestershire in the newly founded The Hundred competition, which began its inaugural season on 21 July 2021, during the English and Welsh cricket season. Both the men's and women's sides play at Edgbaston.
History
The announcement of the new eight-team men's and women's tournament series in 2019 was not without controversy, with the likes of Virat Kohli criticising the England and Wales Cricket Board for pursuing a shift away from Test cricket, while others argued the format should have followed the established and successful Twenty20 format. The ECB however decided it needed a more unique format to draw crowds.
In July 2019, the side announced that former Australian batsman Andrew McDonald would be the men's team's first coach. McDonald will be assisted by Daniel Vettori, Jim Troughton, and Alex Gidman. In September Ben Sawyer was appointed the first coach of the women's side.
The inaugural Hundred draft took place in October 2019 and saw the Phoenix claim Amy Jones as the women's headline draftee and Chris Woakes as their headline men's player. They were joined by England internationals Kirstie Gordon and Moeen Ali and Worcestershire's Pat Brown.
The team's home ground is the iconic Edgbaston Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 25,000. The team's colors are black, red, and gold, which represent the city's industrial heritage and the phoenix, a mythical bird that symbolizes rebirth and renewal.
The Birmingham Phoenix team comprises some of the best domestic and international cricketers, including England's Moeen Ali, New Zealand's Finn Allen, and Australia's Chris Woakes. The team is led by the experienced all-rounder, Liam Livingstone, who has played for England in all three formats of the game.
The team's playing style is aggressive and dynamic, with a focus on power-hitting and fast bowling. The team's coaching staff includes former England cricketer, Andrew McDonald, and former South African cricketer, Gary Kirsten, who bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the team.
Overall, Birmingham Phoenix is a formidable cricket team that is expected to compete at the highest level in The Hundred and bring glory to the city of Birmingham.
