Stokes Not In Favor Of ECB's Proposal To Reduce The Number Of County Championship Matches
County side Kent and Test skipper Ben Stokes are reportedly not in favor of the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) proposals to reduce the number of County Championship matches by up to four per county.
According to a report in mirror.co.uk, the ECB has completed a "high performance review" under former captain Andrew Strauss and published the final report with 17 recommendations. One of the recommendations reportedly says the County Championship should be a three-division competition, with a six-team top division and two secondary conferences where the winners face each other for one promotion spot each year.
