The Hundred Cricket Series

The Hundred is a professional franchise 100-ball cricket tournament involving eight men’s and women’s teams from major cities throughout England and Wales. The tournament, which is run by the England and Wales Cricket Board, took place for the first time in July and August 2021 and was designed to attract younger audiences to watch cricket that ends at a reasonable time. The matches are scheduled to last about two and a half hours, giving young families plenty of time to watch the entire game.
