Cricket Australia Says T20 Internationals Will Remain

Cricket Australia maintains Twenty20 internationals are "here to stay" and it will continue to schedule bilateral series ahead of hosting the showpiece World Cup in '20, according to Jon Pierik of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. England cricket coach Trevor Bayliss called for the sport's shortest format "to be scrapped" at an int'l level. CA "would not comment directly" on Bayliss' stance but the governing body insisted "there is room for the three formats." There has been a "dearth" of T20 internationals but CA is "working on helping" to organize two separate bilateral series this year, against Zimbabwe in Africa and Pakistan in the UAE. Bayliss' comments also "came in the prism of being at the end of a taxing Australian tour." New Zealand coach Mike Hesson disagreed with Bayliss, "declaring economics were also an important consideration." He said, "There's always a workload issue -- I think that's fair -- but there's also a revenue-generation issue as well. In some countries that's not as big a deal but, for New Zealand Cricket, to get 35,000 people in Eden Park or whatever it was the other day is huge for us, huge for the game and huge for the promotion of the game" (SMH, 2/19).
