Welsh Fire sign Jansen and Voll for Hundred

Welsh Fire have signed South African all-rounder Marco Jansen and Australian batter Georgia Voll for the 2026 season of The Hundred.

Jansen, 25, has played Test, one-day and T20 internationals for the Proteas and Welsh Fire believe he is "one of the most exciting all-rounders in world cricket".

The left-arm fast bowler can also bat effectively in the lower order.

Voll, 22, has also impressed at domestic and international level and Fire expect her to add "youth, energy and attacking options".

Welsh Fire player list manager and women's head coach Michael Klinger said: "Marco and Georgia are both very exciting signings.

"Marco is one of the best T20 all-rounders in the world. A dangerous left arm swing bowler with excessive bounce and a power hitter through the middle order."

Klinger added: "Georgia is one of the world's most exciting, powerful top order batters who can also bowl some handy off-spin."

Jansen's signing strengthens links between Major League Cricket team Washington Freedom, whose owner, IT entrepreneur Sanjay Govil, bought a 50% stake in Fire in last year's sale of the Hundred franchises. Glamorgan hold the other 50%.
