In response to enquiries, Giles Clarke, the chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, has advised counties that following the ECB board meeting on February 27 2008 he asked Paul Russell, the chairman of the Domestic Structure Review Group, to consider a new team structure for Twenty20 cricket in England and Wales.
The DSRG has been asked to consider whether sides should be able to field teams comprising four England-qualified players, four under-23 England-qualified players and three overseas/unqualified players.
Clarke also confirmed that the DSRG had been asked to investigate a number of different options for consideration by the board, including an extended Twenty20 domestic competition and other cup competitions.
DSRG has been asked to report back to the board as a matter of urgency.
