England star backs Andrew Strauss reforms as a "winner for English cricket"

England batter Dawid Malan believes Andrew Strauss 's proposed reforms of county cricket could be a "winner for English cricket moving forward".

The ECB tasked Strauss with producing a high performance review and the ex-England captain has presented 17 keynote recommendations. One of the key reforms Strauss proposed was a reduction in County Championship and T20 Blast games.

And while many counties have already hit out at the proposals, Malan says the players need "less cricket at a higher intensity" to ensure they are at their best. "If you're a player that is trying to get better at your game, there's no time to work on your game and you're burning yourself out," he told reporters ahead of England's sixth T20I against Pakistan.
