- ECB told to consider opening up to Indian market
The England and Wales Cricket Board has been urged to open up the Hundred to private investment – including equity stakes for counties and even Indian Premier League team owners – in response to the coronavirus crisis.
An ECB board meeting on Wednesday will discuss the tournament’s postponement until next summer but Tom Harrison, the chief executive, has countered talk of a full cancellation by stressing its importance to English cricket has been “accelerated” by the pandemic.
