This narrowly avoided an overlap with schedules from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>MLC, backed by Indian and American investors, declared that its second season will kick off on July 4 and conclude \u201cby early August,\u201d while The Hundred\u2019s fixture list was recently announced by the ECB, with The Oval hosting the opening matches on July 23.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, The Hundred will also compete in an England men\u2019s international match, as the third Test against the West Indies starts on July 26. This will impact players\u2019 availability for at least the first week of The Hundred. Fortunately, there won\u2019t be a scheduling clash for England\u2019s women, as they finish a T20I series against New Zealand on July 17.<\/p>\n<p>There is an expectation that The Hundred won\u2019t overlap with the Caribbean Premier League in 2024. The men\u2019s and women\u2019s finals are scheduled for August 18 at Lord\u2019s, and while CPL dates are yet to be finalized, it\u2019s anticipated to commence in the final week of August.<\/p>\n<p>The clash with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/07\/mlc-raises-doubts-among-fans-after-few-dubious-dismissals\/\">MLC<\/a> poses a significant challenge in terms of player availability. In the inaugural MLC season, 19 players, including Tim David, Heinrich Klaasen, and Sunil Narine, participated in both leagues, emphasizing the reliance on a shared player pool.<\/p>\n<p>The ECB has expressed concern about the launch of a new lucrative franchise league during the northern hemisphere summer. Centrally-contracted players were informed that they wouldn\u2019t receive No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) for MLC. Jason Roy was the sole Englishman to feature last summer and is expected to return for at least part of the 2024 season with LA Knight Riders.<\/p>\n<p>The ICC implemented a global limit of four overseas players per team in franchise leagues last year, a limit that MLC currently exceeds. However, this cap only applies to new leagues. Richard Thompson, the ECB\u2019s chair, recently commented on leagues that are \u201cbasically international tournaments masquerading as domestic competitions,\u201d specifically referencing MLC.<\/p>\n<p>In its inaugural season, MLC paid its top earners around US$175,000 (\u00a3137,500) to play a minimum of five games. In comparison, the highest men\u2019s salary in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2023\/08\/the-hundred-trent-rockets-begin-title-defense-with-thrilling-6-run-victory\/\">The Hundred<\/a> is \u00a3125,000 (US$159,000) for a minimum of eight games. Men\u2019s Hundred salaries remain unchanged for the 2024 season, and there are discussions about potentially opening the tournament to private investors from 2025.<\/p>\n<p>[embedpsot slug = \u201c\/mlc-final-mukesh-ambani-owned-mi-new-york-wins-inaugural-edition\/\u201d]<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MI New York won the inaugural edition of Major League Cricket (MLC) in 2023 The Hundred and the MLC will clash for the first time.
