James Vince

James Vince is a sublimely elegant right-handed top-order batter whose aesthetic stroke play and extensive leadership credentials have made him a premier asset in short-format cricket. Celebrated globally for his effortless timing and technical fluency, he is a seasoned campaigner with a knack for pacing an innings seamlessly through the powerplay and middle overs. Having famously led the Southern Brave to the inaugural title of The Hundred in 2021 as their highest run-scorer, he has firmly established his status as a master tactician in the 100-ball format. His immense domestic experience, including a prolific career with Hampshire, is complemented by an elite white-ball pedigree that includes being part of England’s historic 2019 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup-winning squad.

Beyond his long-standing success in the English summer, Vince is a highly sought-after global franchise specialist, consistently showcasing his class across elite leagues like the Big Bash League and the Pakistan Super League. He has built a formidable reputation as a serial winner, having previously secured back-to-back BBL titles with the Sydney Sixers, including a legendary match-winning 95 in the 2020–21 final. For the 2026 season of The Hundred, he brings his extensive multi-format knowledge and elite run-scoring capabilities to MI London. Valued equally for his calm leadership presence and his clinical ability to anchoring high-stakes chases, Vince remains a definitive cornerstone for the franchise as they target title glory in this summer’s competition.
