The Hundred will not take place in 2020, and will launch in 2021. We’re still preparing an action-packed, unmissable new 100 ball cricket competition that will put you on the edge of your seat. We’re just going to have to wait a little longer.
As we’re sure you’ll understand, there are a number elements of The Hundred we intended to bring you which aren’t possible right now. From our impressive overseas players and coaches through to an unforgettable experience in the ground for your family and friends.
Outlined below are some of the main reasons for our decision:
• Operational challenges caused by social distancing, alongside ongoing global travel restrictions, making our ambition to feature world-class players and coaches, unattainable in 2020.
• A behind closed doors competition directly contradicts our goal to attract a broader audience through a unique event experience.
• With significant furloughing across the partnership of 20 venues, the logistics of delivering a brand-new sporting event, without a tried-and-test delivery plan will be incredibly challenging.
