Charlie Dean is optimistic new investment into The Hundred can lead to a narrowing of the pay gap between the men’s and women’s cricketers involved.

Salaries for the tournament’s fifth edition have increased, with the men’s top bracket at £200,000, a 60 per cent rise from 2024, and the leading women receiving £65,000, up by only 30 per cent.
