T20 Blast final is 58 days after competition’s group stage‘It just does not make sense,’ says Kent Spitfires captain
Sam Billings, who captained Oval Invincibles to victory in the Hundred last year and Kent Spitfires to success in the 2021 T20 Blast, has described the domestic white-ball schedule this season as “ridiculous” with the Blast finals day scheduled for 14 September, fully 58 days after the last fixture of the group stage.
The entire Hundred, the whole of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup aside from the final, three rounds of County Championship fixtures and four Test matches are due to be played between the last group game of the country’s premier Twenty20 competition and the first of the knockouts.
