In a major shake-up for the UK's domestic cricket landscape, The Hundred tournament is poised to introduce a new player recruitment system.
The current draft format, where teams select from a pool of available players, will be replaced by an open auction.
This new model will allow franchises to bid directly for players and offer them multi-year contracts, a significant departure from the current one-season deals.
The change is seen as a move to increase franchise-style ownership and investment, aligning The Hundred more closely with the highly successful IPL.
This development has been met with mixed reactions; while some see it as a progressive step that will attract more top-tier talent and investment, others are concerned it could disrupt the tournament's original vision and create an uneven playing field.
The change will undoubtedly influence team dynamics and player movement ahead of the next season.
