English chief wary of new Twenty20 plans
Source: AFP July 12, 2008 LONDON - English cricket's senior administrator has poured cold water on plans to create a new money-spinning Twenty20 county tournament.
Proposals drafted by a group including Keith Bradshaw, the Australian secretary of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the owners of Lord's, and Surrey chairman David Stewart for a nine-team tournament are set to be presented at an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) meeting on Tuesday.
However, ECB chairman Giles Clarke has made it clear he is concerned at any plan which doesn't cater for England's existing 18 first-class counties.
