The competition has been played since 2021 and has been building up an impressive fan base. Some questioned whether another format of the game was necessary as it then saw new rules brought into play which could become confusing for fans.
Questions around the new format was perhaps loudest due to the huge success of the Indian Premier League and Australian Big Bash League, with both played in the established Twenty20 format. However, the hundred ball format has proved popular, with fans turning out in their droves to watch a range of top class talent play cricket.
Key players across the tournament include major English names such as Joe Root, Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, Adil Rashid and Phil Salt. Some world class overseas talent has also taken to the competition, with Faf du Plessis, Steve Smith, Trent Boult and Rashid Khan all making their mark.
