Andrew Strauss has told the cricket authorities that they need to create a manageable schedule to allow cricketers to play both Test and T20 cricket at a time of "unbelievable change".
The former England captain, who made 100 test appearances, has urged those at the helm of England and Wales cricket to act quickly and said they "can’t afford to have our heads in the sand”. Strauss highlighted the television and commercial opportunities that T20 cricket provides while Test cricket remains popular in the UK attracting sell-out crowds this summer.
“The cricket world around us is changing unbelievably quickly," Strauss told the Evening Standard.
