The Hundred T20 League 2020
The ECB has launched their T20 tournament in the UK in 2020 but unlike the Vitality T20 Blast, this new T20, city-based cricket English tournament will not be based on the county circuit. The tournament will be played from July 2020 and will last over 38 days, hence going into August 2020. The Hundred cricket tickets are available here.
Each of the innings of The Hundred cricket competition will be 100 balls long, with bowlers allowed to bowl five or 10 consecutive balls. One of the reasons for this so-called new format of the competition is to distinguish itself from the Vitality T20 Blast, formerly known as the NatWest T20 Blast, which will still run in conjunction with the 100-ball format tournament.
The Hundred T20 Teams Squads
The new T20 tournament that the ECB has proposed will be based on the lines of the Indian Premier League and the Big Bash League with a total of eight teams in action. These city-based T20 teams will cover regions in the country rather than the counties as has been the case in the NatWest T20 Blast and they will have names on the lines of how T20 tournaments around the world have – catchy. The Hundred full list of squads are as follows;

What’s known so far is that the players will be selected in a Draft-like format instead of the Auction as is used in the Indian Premier League. The Draft is used in the Pakistan Super League and the Caribbean Premier League. The Hundred Draft will be held on Sunday, October 20, and the likes of Chris Gayle, Lasith Malinga and David Warner will all be a part of the Draft.
They will play their respective home matches at Old Trafford in Manchester, Headingley in Leeds, Edgbaston in Birmingham, Trent Bridge in Nottingham, Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, Lord’s and The Oval in London and the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
The Hundred 2020 Schedule
A total of 33 matches is being planned. Weekends with no Test cricket being played are being targeted so that two matches a day can take place on such dates to capitalise on the TV audience and build a following for the new league. Both men’s and women’s THE HUNDRED 2020 fixtures are placed below;

Format
Each of the sides will play eight games, i.e. four at home and four away. This means every team will play six of the seven other teams once and the seventh side on two separate occasions. These will be followed by four playoff matches including the final.
The match format will be on the lines of T20 cricket but instead of 20-overs-a-side, the competition will be played over 100 balls. There are minor changes to the game format. Here’s more:
- Each side will be able to bat for a maximum of 100 balls
- Bowling ends will change every 10 balls
- Bowlers will be allowed to bowl five or 10 balls in a row
- No bowler will be allowed to bowl more than 20 balls in an innings
- IPL-like strategic timeouts of up to 2.5 minutes
- Powerplay will be 25 balls long for each team
