Former Multan Sultans owner Ali Tareen has replied to Ben Duckett's comments on the low attendance in the Hundred. He believes that there are too many franchise leagues in the world that are running, and there has been player rotation every few months; thus, supporting one team or player is difficult, and the decline is inevitable.
“Too many leagues. Same player pool rotating between teams every few months. It makes building a fan base difficult and gives neutrals nothing to latch onto. Novelty has worn off. Declining interest is inevitable.”

Why is The Hundred not having good fan turn-outs?
The sudden downfall in the whole crowd, with a few thousand down as of this stage last year, and the Hundred is only in the one-third stage of the competition. Though on weekdays it is difficult for the fans to turn up for the afternoon games.
So, during the transition, it had major changes in operations, which is "unprecedented" for any major sporting league in the world.
Ben Duckett shocked with low attendance in The Hundred
Right after any big series against Australia or India, the crowds have turned up in large numbers to support their favourite franchise. But this season it has not been like that. The total attendance in 2023 and 2025 was around 580,000, compared to 500,000 in 2022 and 540,000 in 2024. This year it is expected to be much lower than last year.
However, on Sunday for the Trent Rockets, the franchise Ben Duckett represents in the Hundred had a good turnout of 11,699, and the Rockets won the thriller game against London Spirit. Ben Duckett is having a good time as he is currently the leading run-getter in the tournament.
