With the success of T20 leagues, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) came up with the idea of the 100-ball league, known as The Hundred Competition. However, there were a few challenges early on, but it became very popular over time. The first edition took place in 2021, and so far, this league has hosted five seasons successfully in men’s and women’s formats.
This league gives the platform to the local talent to rub their shoulders with some of the best in the business. Every year, several international stars participate in this tournament. So far, three teams have won The Hundred Men’s Competition, and we will talk here about the list of winners for The Hundred Men’s Competition from the start.
