The Hundred: Future expansion a ‘no brainer’, says the ECB
Investors will agree to a minimum of five years and attach it to a hundred teams. Some are paying their money in advance, while others are paying for up to five years.
The ROI will be 80% of future broadcast transactions, with one hundred of them being sold separately from the rest of the game in England and Wales.
When it comes to broadcast rights, Gould said the overseas TV market is “very important”, especially since hundreds of investments are from India and the United States. Regarding whether the competition will become the T20 format to align with other major franchise alliances, Gould said it was not a “heavy debate.”
In addition to bringing funds into the game, the ECB also hopes to invest in improving the quality and profile of a man with increased player salaries.
In 2023, the Independent Commission for Cricket Equity recommends that one hundred people pay equally to men and women by 2025, which will not be met.
This year, men’s salary for up to £200,000 is £135,000 more than the highest £65,000, while at the bottom of the seven-paying bands, the difference between the £31,000 man and £10,000 is £21,000. female.
On Wednesday, Oliver Hannon-Dalby, the incoming president of the Professional Cricketers Association, called the difference “unfair” and “incorrect.”
When asked if investment will be equal in salary, Gould said: “I think it will help speed up the process. Some market conditions will ultimately affect how these things work.
“We want to commercialize the girls’ games and raise it to the same level as the boys’ games. Maybe we should be more ambitious than that.”
