Adam Zampa's marathon 21,000 mile (34,000 kilometre) round trip from Australia just to bowl 20 balls paid dividends as the Oval Invincibles won their third successive final in English cricket's Hundred with a 26-run victory over the Trent Rockets at Lord's on Sunday.
The player draft for the upcoming season of The Hundred saw several global stars securing contracts, including Rachin Ravindra, Noor Ahmad, Heinrich Klaasen, David Warner, Trent Boult, and Kane Williamson. However, despite 29 Bangladeshi cricketers registering for the draft, none were picked by the franchises.
Despite multiple seasons of The Hundred passing by, no Bangladeshi cricketer has yet featured in England’s 100-ball tournament. However, ahead of the upcoming season, 29 Bangladeshi male cricketers have registered for the players' draft. Unlike last year, when Jahanara Alam entered the women’s draft, no Bangladeshi female cricketers have registered this time.
The cascade of cash into English cricket created by the auction of stakes in Hundred franchises climaxed on Wednesday with a deal for Southern Brave.
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has agreed to buy a 49 percent stake in Hundred franchise Trent Rockets, becoming the latest foreign investor in the 100-ball-a-side cricket competition.
