And now it’s going to be more that 11 players a side. One report said it’s 12 with the last person being a designated hitter a la baseball who doesn’t field at all and another report said it was 15 with the batters being subbed for fielders / bowlers at the interval.
What a hot pile of steaming garbage!!! Jesus I can’t believe someone is getting paid at the ECB to dream this up.
The only thing they haven’t done is 1 mandatory female per team :shrug:
