LONDON: Former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody and England World Cup winner Lydia Greenway have been appointed as head coaches of the Oval-based men’s and women’s teams for the new Hundred competition, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced on Wednesday.
The Hundred, starting in 2020, is a new tournament consisting of eight city-based franchise sides, breaking away from England’s traditional county system.
Teams will bat for 100 balls each with overs, normally consisting of six deliveries, lasting for 10 balls with bowlers either bowling five or 10 balls consecutively.
Moody led Sri Lanka to the 2007 World Cup final and Sunrisers Hyderabad to the Indian Premier League title in 2016. “Anything that is new and is innovative has an automatic appeal,” said Moody. “From a coaching perspective it presents new challenges to test yourself against in a world-class environment.”
