The ICC announce new tournament.
The Icc have announced a new Twenty20 tournament for international squads in a press conference yesterday. The ICC president said it should bring excitement to the sport. As people are saying cricket is so long so this tournament will be turned in to a league so that it will never end. There will be 15 teams in 3 divisions(5 in each) and they will play the teams in their league. The top 2 teams from division 2/3 will move up to division 1/2 and the other way round. Fixtures will be announced soon but the ICC still do not know what to call it. They announced they need a sponser to name it after. The contenders battiling for the sponsorship are Mc Donalds, Umbro and Nike. Nike are the favourates at the moment. The league will only have Twenty20 matches and not test or ODI's in between. Mc Donalds and Nike have promised if they get the sponsorship they will force the ICC to create a Twenty20 world cup as well after the first season as well as the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007. Mc Donalds sports president Tim Wright announced we have a keen intrust in sports and sponsor the C&G trophy but we are now looking for something big like to arrange and organise games. The Sponsor and co Arrangers will be announced tomorrow. The ICC president has also said that ODI and Test matches will continue but will not have any Twenty20's during a tour.
What will happen will Mc Donalds win the sponsor? or will Nike win?. Find out tomorrow.
