The Hundred in Cricket 19 will feature both the men’s and women’s competitions and will allow players to draft a fantasy The Hundred team. Three new stadia have also been added so all eight The Hundred teams with feature their home ground.

“This is the full The Hundred experience,” said Big Ant CEO Ross Symons in a statement. “We’ve gone out and recreated three more stadia in the UK, so fans will be able to play along with the complete competition, while testing their own management and playing skills in building up their perfect team.

“Our goal has always been to give cricket fans the full experience, and The Hundred represents an exciting new format for the game that we have been looking forward to implementing for a while now. It’s also the first time that we’ve brought DLC to a cricket game. We have fans that have played Cricket 19 for thousands of hours, and they have been asking us for ways to deepen their experience even more. We can’t wait for them to experience the excitement this DLC brings to the game.”
