Trent Bridge will host the trials for the new ‘100-ball cricket’ format, which was introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board earlier this year.
As the name suggests, the proposed format will feature each innings of 100 deliveries – 40 fewer per match than the Twenty20 format – including a 10-ball final over.
The ECB has planned to start the tournament from 2020.
The 38-day tournament will involve eight teams, including a play-off system and players’ draft. Lord’s, The Oval, Ageas Bowl, Edgbaston, Headingley, Old Trafford and Sophia Gardens are the other venues that are likely to host the matches.
