ECB Will Only Accept Really Lucrative Offers For The Hundred, Indicates Chairman Richard Thompson

By IANS News December 04, 2022 • 11:34 AM View: 924

The England and Wales (ECB) chairman Richard Thompson has said his benchmark for selling The Hundred -- a franchise 100-ball cricket tournament involving eight men's and eight women's teams which first took place in 2021 -- was in billions, considering the fact that just one of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises was bought for USD930 million.

Recent reports have suggested the ECB is weighing up the option of selling The Hundred property for 400 million pounds, but Thompson said he "won't sell the game short" when just one single IPL franchise is valued at just under a billion dollars.
