Selling The Hundred

Business Daily

Available for over a year

We look at England and Wales' new cricket format - which is now up for sale. The one hundred ball format was designed to attract news fans to the game. Each team is tied to a UK city or region and the first tournament was held in 2021. Now the organisers are selling a 49% stake in each of the teams, and they're hoping to attract Indian investment, liked to the IPL. So will it pay off?
