New pathways into sports have been opened for gambling firms as the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) implements emergency procedures for The Hundred.
According to reports, The Hundred Board and the ECB have agreed on an emergency clause to open up the tournament for sponsorship opportunities by gambling firms. This decision was made due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tournament. The move is seen as a temporary measure to support the tournament during these challenging times.
