Agree with you re the Hundred replacement, though equally no need to mandate city names.
Surely they can bridge the gap to 2028 by playing T20 at the Hundred. Just play into the farce and add "+20" in red pen over the logo.
Another point: we have two bank holiday weekends in a row,what a shame there's no cricket on terrestrial TV. May Day is a perfect chance to announce to the nation that cricket has begun. T20 "finals day" round robin of Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, and England. The lack of availability of England's best will make it a great contest and give some younger players (e.g Mouseley) a platform...
Equally, why not mark the coronation with a 50 over game on the Monday? England Vs a Kings XI representing the commonwealth. Get a few royals down, Stephen Fry on Comms..
All told, so frustrating that we are stuck playing cricket in secret until the Ashes in July and The Hundred in August.
Great newsletter as always.

Thanks Matthew. Love the idea for the Coronation. But to be horribly realistic, the IPL is on. We would not get the players
