England’s “The Hundred” league is fooling people; Lalit Modi told what scam is going on!
Lalit Modi, the main man behind IPL, called the financial structure of ECB a scam. Captain James Vince lifts the trophy as the Southern Brave are champions after The Hundred Final. (Photo by Stu Forster/Getty Images) The flagship initiative of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), ‘The Hundred League’ is a unique offering for cricket fans as they have never seen a 100-ball game played before. It was introduced as a variation on the T20 format, aimed at increasing the popularity of cricket along the lines of the Indian Premier League (IPL). To make this new league a success, the ECB also contacted several IPL franchises so that they could take stake in the teams of the Hundred. Lalit Modi, the main man behind IPL, called the financial structure of ECB a scam. He believes that many other major franchise cricket leagues are already in a strong position and the Hundred has been able to attract only a limited number of international fans. He has warned those investing in England’s The Hundred. ‘They are trying to create a lot of buzz and excitement about a tournament which is actually not as important as they are making it out to be,’ Lalit Modi told Cricbuzz. ‘The Hundred’ league tournament is fooling people: Lalit Modi Lalit Modi tweeted on his ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) handle- “The ECB’s figures regarding earnings from international TV rights for the Hundred League do not make sense given the increasing competition from leagues like the IPL. “It seems unlikely that ‘The Hundred’ will be able to attract an international audience to justify these inflated figures.” Hundred League is finding it difficult to compete with CPL’s profits: Lalit Modi It is noteworthy that Lalit Modi started IPL in 2008. It is believed that BCCI had earlier rejected his idea in which he had proposed to introduce a club-based format of cricket like football in India. However, when India won the T20 World Cup in 2007, IPL got approval and was loved by the Indian audience. Lalit Modi had offered US$1 billion to buy ‘The Hundred’, but the ECB rejected it. He further added, “The worst part is that ‘The Hundred’ is struggling to even compete with the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in terms of profits, which is a clear indication of its financial weakness. ‘The Hundred’ league is in a weak position financially.”

ICC’s anti-corruption chief Alex Marshall warned of the danger of corruption from ‘poorly run T20 league’, know what he said
I believe the cricket you watch is safe and clean: Alex Marshall Alex Marshall (Image Credit- Twitter X) Alex Marshall, chief of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit team, has recently assured the general public that the cricket they watch is completely corruption-free. He also warned that those who want to corrupt the game usually enter the system from local T20 leagues. These leagues are not run by the ICC but by its member countries. Marshall further said that as long as people want to make money, corrupt people will keep trying to get into the system. Alex Marshall, quoted by the Times of India, said, “I believe the cricket you watch is safe and clean. But I am also convinced that the corrupt are constantly finding their way into the game, especially in the poorly run lower-level franchise T20 leagues. The danger to the game is that as long as there is money to be made, the corrupt will not be able to escape and they will find loopholes in the system to get involved.” He also spoke about how pleased he is with the growing number of players willing to report corruption, which helps the global body maintain the integrity of the sport. Marshall further said- I am glad to see the growing number of players trusting us to come and report such cases to us. But there was a time when players kept it a secret, which led to no action, but now they have confidence. Players have seen corrupt people being busted, which shows who the corrupt are, what their methods are. So, everyone is better protected and equipped to keep corruption away from the game. Marshall has been on this post for 7 years Let us tell you that Alex Marshall has been leading the ICC’s Anti Corruption Unit for the last 7 years. Under his leadership, special changes have been seen in the system. It was under Marshall’s leadership that an Indian bookie was foiled on the report of Shakib Al Hasan.
