Peter Hatzoglou and Ish Sodhi have been recruited as replacement signings for the latter stages of The Hundred.

Australian spinner Hatzoglou will be available for Oval Invincibles from August 27, joining the London side as a replacement for Sunil Narine. He could feature in their final two group matches and the knockout stages, if they qualify.

The 23-year-old has made his mark in the Big Bash, picking up 17 wickets in his debut season for Melbourne Renegades before contributing 15 wickets to Perth Scorchers' title charge in 2021/22.

New Zealand international Sodhi, meanwhile, replaces Adam Zampa at Welsh Fire. His availability is yet to be confirmed.

The 29-year-old, a leg-spinner with over 230 T20 wickets to his name, has enjoyed stints in the CPL, Big Bash and IPL. He is also familiar with English conditions having made 44 appearances in the T20 Blast (45 wickets) for Worcestershire Rapids and Notts Outlaws.

Narine is leaving the tournament early to participate in the CPL while Zampa has been selected for Australia's white-ball squad to face Zimbabwe.

Elsewhere, Harry Brook has been released from England's Test squad and will be available for Northern Superchargers on August 19 (Birmingham Phoenix) and August 21 (Manchester Originals).
