Change Champions' Trophy to 20/20 format?

I, for one, have never felt the inclination to go watch a domestic match.

Which is precisely what the attitude of many ENglish people was towards English County Cricket, and the crowds that now flock to their 20/20 matches are, in a word, incredible!!!

If there's a Twenty20 Cup, they should scrap the champions trophy. What's the point of having both? Also, interestingly the game hasn't been picked up by the BCCI yet. In fact, they seem pretty negatively deposed towards implementing it into the domestic schedule. It would certainly boost excitement back into the domestic scene. I, for one, have never felt the inclination to go watch a domestic match.

Look at what happened to Pakistan domestic cricket after just one season of Twenty20. People actually go to the games now. The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final was televised this season for the first time in ages.

India will introduce it eventually. Remember, it took them 3 years to play an ODI, and more than TEN years before they played one at home. Also, they didn't start a one day domestic tournament until 10 years after England introduced it.
