ECB Will Meet With Players' Union To Address Twenty20 Concerns

The England & Wales Cricket Board will meet with the players' union next week when it "will be asked to offer assurances that county cricket will not be sidelined when a new Twenty20 tournament is launched" in '20, according to Nick Hoult of the London TELEGRAPH. Officials from the ECB will address the Professional Cricketers' Association's annual general meeting, where they are "due to brief the players on the new Twenty20 tournament." Around 100 cricketers will be involved in the new tournament playing for the "eight intended teams" but that represents "only a third of the PCA's membership." The rest will remain playing county cricket but "fear being sidelined." A survey of PCA members last year found that 92% believed a "Big Bash-style competition will be good for the English game" but 79% also believed a two-divisional competition made up of "the best county sides" would be an "attractive option" (TELEGRAPH, 2/16).
