Big blow to Lalit Modi, ECB rejected the proposal to buy The Hundred tournament
Some time ago, the ECB had opened the doors for private players to participate in the tournament. Lalit Modi. (Photo Source: Twitter) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has rejected the proposal by former IPL chairman Lalit Modi to buy their domestic tournament The Hundred for 10 years. If media reports are to be believed, the ECB does not want to spoil its relations with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which is currently the biggest stakeholder in the cricket world. It is noteworthy that Modi is currently in London and since 2013, he is banned from participating in IPL and any other type of cricket activity in India. Lalit Modi was the brain behind starting IPL. However, after this he had proposed to the ECB to do something similar to IPL with ‘The Hundred’, but now he has got a big shock. Recently, Lalit Modi’s representatives met senior ECB officials Vikram Banerjee and Richard Good, in which they expressed their desire to invest in the tournament. Regarding this issue, ECB Chairman Richard Thomson quoted the British Daily as saying that he will consider only a proposal worth a few billion dollars. The ECB had planned to sell only the equity while keeping the ownership of the tournament with itself. Also, let us tell you that before Lalit Modi, Bridgepoint Group had already invested 400 million dollars and proposed 75 percent stake to the ECB for stake in The Hundred. But till now no updates have come out regarding this deal. Modi had estimated the annual income of The Hundred at 100 million dollars. In a recent interview given to Cricbuzz, Lalit Modi had said that by investing in The Hundred tournament, he wants to make it a 10-team tournament. Also, with the conversion of the 100-ball game to T20 format, the team purse should be increased to $10 million (Rs 83 crore). After this, Modi had expressed hope that the tournament could generate an income of 100 million dollars every year.

Women’s Hundred: England and Wales Cricket Board took this big step to make the league famous
ECB has increased the salaries of every team. Women’s Hundred (Image Credit- Twitter X) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is going to invest 8 lakh euros in the Women’s The Hundred tournament to attract the best players from around the world. After this decision of ECB, the disparity in gender pay in the league will now reduce. While men’s salaries are going to be capped for the third consecutive season. According to ESPN Cricinfo, the salary of each team in the Women’s The Hundred tournament can be increased by up to 40 percent. Currently, every team is getting 2.50 lakh Euros for the salary of women players, but now after the investment by ECB, every team is going to get 3.50 lakh Euros. After this, the top 2 players who used to earn 31,250 Euros last season will now be seen earning 50,000 Euros. Also, let us tell you that there was a huge difference in the salary of Women’s The Hundred and the Women’s Premier League to be held in India. But now after ECB’s investment this gap seems to be filling. It is worth noting that in the WPL, Smriti Mandhana of Royal Challengers Bangalore gets the highest payment of Rs 3.4 crore (3.20 lakh Euros), which is much more than the 31,250 Euros per player in Women’s The Hundred. Apart from this, Australia’s Tahila Magrath and Ashley Gardner also get a good amount of money in WPL. After this decision of the ECB, the salaries of the players are going to remain the same in the third season of The Hundred. No change will be seen in this. Last season, the highest cricketer was paid 1.25 lakh euros. Earlier, the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) had recommended to the ECB to increase the salaries of players in the men’s and women’s The Hundred tournaments by 2025, because there was a huge difference in the salaries of both. But before the upcoming season, the board has taken steps towards reducing this gap.
