Phil Tufnell has staunchly defended The Hundred despite many pundits arguing the new tournament impact contributed to England's dismal Ashes showing.
The former spinner, who in April and May will be joined by Jonathan Agnew in hosting 20 live Test Match Special [TMS] tour events, called the new initiative "a revelation" after it captivated the public last summer.
Tufnell, 55, played 42 Test matches and 20 ODIs for England, taking 140 international wickets. He also became a legendary figure at Middlesex - where he played more than 300 first-class games and claimed over a 1000 scalps during a 16-year stint.
