The Hundred (Men's Competition) is a revolutionary short-format cricket tournament launched by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2021. Its most distinctive feature is the new format that replaces the traditional 6-ball over with a 100-ball per innings structure. Through eight city-based franchises, the league aims to attract a younger audience and families to the world of cricket, leveraging its fast-paced gameplay, simplified rules, and futuristic visual presentation.
