All 18 directors of cricket at the first class counties have made a plea to the ECB to be formally involved in decision-making in the domestic game.
Following a meeting on Monday the group wish to be recognised as a separate set of stakeholders in the game when it comes to decisions taken by the ECB on the future of domestic cricket.
Currently there is no representative from the group on any of the ECB's working groups or cricket committee or executive so their opinions on what should happen can only be voiced through their own Chairs and chief executives who often have other areas of concern away from the actual on field activity.
