Welsh Fire captain Phil Salt says he would like The Hundred to have an extra week in its scheduling. Speaking after Welsh Fire played three matches within a five-day span, Salt argues that the current fixture congestion leaves players with little recovery time. Multiple matches in short succession, he suggests, can increase physical strain and affects how teams manage workload during the tournament.
Salt’s comments come as the team navigates a demanding stretch of games in The Hundred. The request for a longer schedule reflects concerns about balancing match intensity with adequate rest, though it does not indicate any immediate change to the tournament format. The Hundred’s wider schedule and any potential revisions would be subject to the league’s planning and broader calendar constraints, but Salt’s position highlights ongoing discussion around player welfare and match scheduling.
