The Hundred Blaze Set to Ignite Seven Kings

Emdad Rahman

Excitement is building as the 9th edition of The Hundred Blaze returns on 28–29 May 2026 at Seven Kings Park, Ilford. Organised by Capital Kids Cricket, the tournament continues to grow as a vibrant celebration of grassroots cricket, diversity, and international unity.

This year’s competition will feature eight teams, bringing together a rich mix of talent and cultures. Notably, the inclusion of a West Indies side coordinated by the ACE Programme and an England Lions team supported by the Cricket Supporters Foundation (CSF) adds further prestige and depth to the event.

In a unique and engaging format, teams will be drawn live and split into two groups, creating excitement and anticipation ahead of the tournament. The format promises competitive cricket alongside a strong emphasis on community engagement and youth development.

The Hundred Blaze has become a platform that champions inclusion, opportunity, and the unifying power of sport. Players, families, and supporters can expect two days of high energy cricket, connection, and celebration.

Organisers are also seeking sponsors and partners to be part of this growing legacy. With increasing reach and impact, The Hundred Blaze offers a valuable opportunity for organisations to support grassroots sport while gaining meaningful community exposure.
