Cricket West Indies has unveiled a new tournament called 'The 6ixty', which is set to take place in August ahead of the new Caribbean Premier League season.
The tournament is a version of T10 cricket, but includes several new rules and regulations, including the introduction of a 'mystery free hit'. Given the name, the tournament has drawn inevitable comparisons to The Hundred and was announced in a video fronted by West Indies legend Chris Gayle.
Gayle described the 6ixty as "my type of cricket", calling it "a brand new format that brings cricket fans closer to the action". Each side will have six wickets and can unlock a third powerplay over if they hit two sixes in the first two overs.
