Andrew Strauss is proposing a big shake-up to the County Championship, with the former England captain looking to convince reluctant chairmen to get on board with his plans.
According to the Telegraph , Strauss is looking to implement just a six-team Premier Division with two feeder leagues of six underneath competing for a promotional play-off.
Each county would play at least 10 four-day matches across the season, playing each other home and away with the potential of play-off games following the end of the regular campaign to decide the Premier Division champions. In the two feeder leagues, the two leading sides will compete against each other to earn a Premier spot.
