Kent chair Simon Philip has hit out at the ECB's high performance review, vowing they "will not allow our Club to be rendered irrelevant".
The review, which was led by for England captain Sir Andrew Strauss, set out 17 recommendations for English cricket, including plans to make wholesale changes to the domestic game.
A three-division County Championship has been proposed, featuring a six-team top division and two secondary conferences where the winners would face each other for one promotion spot each year.
