English cricket's anti-corruption officials have earmarked the new Hundred competition as an area of risk - and have launched a new anonymous integrity phoneline to encourage players to report suspicious activity.
The 100-ball tournament, which begins next summer, is on a list of formats and competitions regarded as vulnerable.
Strict anti-corruption measures will be in place, but its newness is regarded as tempting to illegal bookmakers keen to infiltrate the competition before it becomes established.
