- Fear that two-tier system will create ‘super counties’
- ‘It’s been agreed there needs to be a review of how it works’
The Professional Cricketers’ Association has called for a review into the draft system for the men’s Hundred after receiving reports of player discontent over perceived local bias in the selection of squads.
The union warned in 2019 that unless recruitment for the new tournament was fully independent, players could begin to pursue county contracts at the host clubs in the hope of boosting their chances of a deal in the Hundred. The long-term fear is this will create a two-tier professional system with eight “super-counties”.
