Corona and Cricket: How is the 100 tournament possible in the current situation?

How is the 100 tournament possible in the current situation

The England and Wales Cricket Board last year announced the launch of a new tournament in its cricket season from Big Zorroshore, dubbed 'The 100'.

The tournament is scheduled to take place between July 17 and August 15 this year, but the corona virus epidemic has also called into question the tournament.

According to Tom Harrison, chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board, The 100 has become a major tournament in these circumstances, but the future of the tournament is expected to be decided at a meeting on Wednesday.

The England and Wales Cricket Board announced last week that the start of the 2020 English cricket season has been postponed to July 1, which means that the Test series between England and the West Indies has also been postponed.

In such a situation, the question of whether it will be possible to hold 'The 100' is very important and if so, in what form?

Public health restrictions

The problems of bringing foreign cricketers to England and, above all, the financial costs in the current situation are the aspects that have become paramount in the organization of 'The 100'.

Tom Harrison says it remains to be seen how much the current situation will affect The 100.

The 100 tournament has been touted as an attractive event in terms of the extraordinary number of spectators and interest, but there have also been voices of opposition in England's cricketing circles and it has been said that during the busy English cricket season. No new format is required.

Opponents of The 100 believe that what the England and Wales Cricket Board wanted to achieve could have been achieved by better supporting the pre-existing T20 Blast.

Tom Harrison disagrees with the impression that the D-100 is less important in the current situation.

Perhaps this is because the England and Wales Cricket Board had already estimated that the format would not be profitable in the first five seasons, but it also believes that the tournament is profitable in the long run. Will be forgiven

The first season of The 100 Tournament is estimated to cost ین 58 million and the revenue is estimated at 51 51 million.

What is the 100 tournament?

The 100 is actually a tournament played under a new format that will be based on eight franchise teams as opposed to England's 18 county teams. The women's tournament will be separate.

Last year, the tournament was drafted in which all the teams selected a total of 96 players, including foreign players.

Afghan league sniper Rashid Khan was the first cricketer to be acquired by Trent Rocket for 25 125,000. Other notable British cricketers participating in the tournament include Andre Russell, Chris Gayle, Steve Smith, David Warner, Ken Williamson, Glenn Maxwell, Imran Tahir, Lasith Malinga, Sunil Narine and Mitchell Starc.
