By not Including The Hundred in this Broadcasting Rights Bundle, ECB is almost stopping The Hundred to grow. Most of viewers in India are almost unaware of The Hundred tournament & the format.

Even Sony not showing County Championship, Vitality Blast and Royal London Cup even though have the rights.
If it is star, at least they could show it in SS first channel as it doesn't have much content.
