The 2023 edition of The Hundred is all set to begin on August 01, with defending champions Trent Rockets taking on Southern Brave in the tournament opener.
Recently, the players’ draft for the third edition of the 100-ball competition took place, where stars from around the globe were roped in by all the franchises.
