England limited-overs captain Morgan is a vocal supporter of this competition.
Speaking earlier in the summertime, Morgan explained:The Hundred, yes, I really do think we want it. We need one franchise-based tournament, with clubs that are fewer, to be able to consistently sell the sport.
Anyone I speak to who loves sport but does not always love cricket is crying out for a championship that he or she understands, because 18 teams opting for a very long time period just doesnt make sense to anybody.
The following summer, the BBC will have live television coverage of 2 England mens international T20 matches, one England womens T20 worldwide, and live TV coverage of 10 mens games from The Hundred and up to eight live matches from the girlss Hundred championship, including both finals.
