SunRisers Leeds is thrilled to announce Dani Gibson and Zak Crawley as the respective captains of our women's and men's teams for the 2026 season of The Hundred. Both players bring elite international experience and a match-winning pedigree to Headingley as the franchise enters a bold new era.

England's dynamic all-rounder Dani Gibson will be leading the women's squad. Known for her explosive middle-order batting and crucial pace breakthroughs, Gibson's fearless, high-energy approach perfectly embodies the SunRisers ethos.
