The Hundred auction: Five young men's players to watch

Sussex all-rounder James Coles looks to be an England player in the making. Across 29 T20 innings since the start of 2025, Coles has averaged 32 with the bat while striking at 156, an exceptional record while batting in the middle order. Coles is a slightly stronger player of spin than pace, averaging 38 against spin while striking at 162, a unique skillset for a local player in the men's Hundred.
