2 weeks ago | sports.yahoo.com | Dan Roan |Stephan Shemilt

Keeping The Hundred free of clashes with England internationals is vital to the success of the competition, according to Welsh Fire investor Sanjay Govil. Govil, a billionaire American-Indian IT entrepreneur, has agreed to pay just over £40m for a 50% stake in the Fire.

Although the ECB has sold stakes in the Hundred teams, it has retained ownership of the competition itself, meaning the governing body will have final say on any change of format. However, Govil said he and other investors have a preference to change from the 100-ball format, an outlier in terms of the global landscape, to the widely played 20-over game. "The ones I have talked to, the answer is yes. Will it happen over time? I don't know," he said.

There have also been discussions over the sale of future TV rights. The current United Kingdom TV deal, principally held by Sky, expires in 2028. When it is renegotiated, rights for The Hundred will again be sold as a complete package, rather than separated from international and other domestic cricket. International TV rights, seen as a key area of growth, are piecemeal. Deals for separate competitions or series arise at different intervals.
