The Hundred will definitely remain a 100-ball tournament next year, England and Wales Cricket Board Chair Richard Thompson has confirmed.
It comes after a host of changes were mooted for the 2026 edition of the tournament, including a potential shift to 20 overs.
Thompson, though, confirmed that no such changes were coming in the near future despite major investment and changes in ownership in franchises for The Hundred ahead of next year's tournament.

"I can categorically tell you it's 100 balls next year," he said, speaking to Sky Sports Cricket. "I don't think anything would change in this [TV] rights cycle.
"Sky have bought The Hundred. Sky are not going to want to change that, but it's up to the owners and ECB to decide what that might be in the future."
