Ellyse Perry had a knee injury last season which ruled her out of Women's Hundred.
Perry missed out last season of the Hundred for her left knee injury and is back this season to captain her side Birmingham Phoenix. The allrounder has played just one season of the Hundred, in 2022, scoring 134 runs in six matches. 

She was the leading run-scorer in this season's WPL, scoring 347 runs at 69.40 while also taking seven wickets for eventual winners Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Perry also has a wealth of leadership experience with Sydney Sixers in the Women's Big Bash League, where she became the first player to captain 100 WBBL matches.

"I'm incredibly honoured to be named Birmingham Phoenix captain," Perry said. "It is a wonderful club which means a lot to me. It was really disappointing to miss out on joining the group last season so I'm really excited to be back this year.

"I'm looking forward to joining the whole playing squad, both our existing and new players to work towards a really successful season for the Phoenix."
