Former England international Derek Pringle has issued a stark warning about The Hundred 's place in the cricket schedule.
The tournament takes place at the height of the summer, when the weather is at its best and children are on their school holidays. It is the ideal time for a new competition which aims to 'grow the game' to be played.
However, The Hundred's detractors are concerned about the lack of red-ball cricket played in the same timeframe and the impact it could have on the England Test team and county cricket. Recent reports have claimed next year's Ashes will not feature a Test beginning in August for the first time in 139 years to allow England's top stars to play more Hundred matches.
