History of T20 Blast 

The Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and England huely needed a 50-over tournament after the Benson and Hedges Cup came to an end in 2022. Due to lack of sponsorship, the board agreed to go ahead with a T20 format that would attract a huge fanbase in the upcoming matches. The authorities wanted to bring a tournament with quick results and came up with the idea of a T20 cup. 

According to the latest cricket updates, the official name of the tournament changed and in its inception year in 2003, it was called the T20 Cup.  

However, with the end of 2009 edition, the ECB changed its name to Provident T20. The next change in the name of the tournament occurred in 2014 when ECB got the sponsorship of NatWest. It was named as NatWest T20 Blast from 2014 to 2017 with Vitality taking over being the new sponsors from 2018.
