English cricket’s club v country battle

Why new proposals aimed at boosting England have sparked anger in county cricket.

A domestic shake-up aimed at taking England’s men to No.1 in all three formats of cricket has sparked a furious response from the county game.

In an exclusive broadcast interview, the new man in charge of English cricket Richard Thompson tells us why fewer domestic matches can help safeguard the future of the game and counter the threat of overseas T20 leagues.

We hear from one of the leading critics of the proposals – Leicestershire CEO Sean Jarvis - and from England white-ball captain Jos Buttler as he prepares to lead his team in the Twenty20 World Cup.
