The England and Wales Cricket Board is pushing ahead with proposals to switch the Hundred to a Twenty20 format, but plans to keep the competitions name. The Observer has learned that a return to traditional six-ball overs is on the cards when the next television rights cycle begins in 2029, although the Hundred title and branding will remain.

Great news!! About time . To say I'm pleased with franchise cricket would be an overstatement, but I can put up with it and see why it was needed/wanted. It was that moronic 100 ball format that was the real issue for me. Good riddance to 100 balls, sets and that nonsense.
