Win Projections to be updated soon
Major League Cricket (MLC) is set to begin its second season on July 5. This year, though, it will collide with the Hundred since both leagues will be in the same area for six days in July. This may cause a few international players to arrive in the UK for the Hundred late. With the goal of reaching a consensus this week, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has been in communication with the counties.
In their most recent plan, the ECB would keep 49 percent of the proceeds, while the host county (or MCC, for London Spirit) of each Hundred team would receive 51 percent. The ECB intends to sell this 49 percent stake and split the proceeds among English cricket players by year’s end. The goal of this action is to guarantee the Hundred’s and the English game’s overall financial viability.
Prior of MLC starting on July 5, twelve international players who were engaged for the Hundred have already committed to the league. More are expected to do the same.
“In that 49%, who wins what? Throughout the following few weeks, that is where the conversation will focus. How can that money be most effectively distributed across the 18 counties—or, if the MCC is taken into account, the 19 counties—in order to try and build a more robust and sustainable foundation for the county system? ESPN Cricinfo cited Stuart Cain, the CEO of Warwickshire, as stating.
Crossover that has given organisers headaches
Major League Cricket (MLC) closes on July 28, with knockout matches beginning on July 24. The Hundred’s group stage begins on July 23.

Until their MLC teams win the tournament, the majority of these players will stay in the United States. The schedule and player availability of this crossover have presented difficulties. It affects both leagues in their attempts to secure mutual player pools and scheduling conflicts.
