Will the usage of two new balls in an ODI innings - among a series of changes made to on-field rules - force the ECB to switch to a 50-over format for its one-day competition on the domestic circuit? Steve James wonders in the Daily Telegraph.
Our domestic one-day cricket is still played over 40 overs rather than the 50 used in ODIs. I may have mentioned this before. It is not unconnected to the fact that, while England might be the No 1 Test team and World Twenty20 champions, they have never won a World Cup.
