Reduction of District Championships from 14 to 12 is a “only reasonable option” to try to protect the physical and mental well-being of domestic crickets, according to the players association.
A survey on professional cricket association (PCA) showed 83 percent of its members of concern for the physical impact of schedules and two thirds are taken care of from a mental health point of view.
The counties discussed changes in the calendar for the next year, and Varvickshire North and PCA chair Olli Hannon-Dalbi poses to reduce the amount of cricket red and ball.
“We are at a critical moment in connection with the future of professional crickets in England and Wales. The schedule has always been a disputed question and we have seen too many reviews,” Hannon-Dalbi said.
“But feeling in recent seasons due to increasing hardening intensity has led the game to a position in which positive action must be immediately received immediately and as an opportunity to grow to grow.
“Changing the format of the District Championship in 12 League Matches is the only reasonable option and would inhale a new life in what I believe will become the best red-ball competition in the world.”

The result of what the schedule of 2026 will look like this month and any modifications require support from at least 12 of the 18 counties, some of which publicly expressed their preferences.
Middlesex, Somerset and Surrey support the status quo 14 matches, while Durham and Lancashire in favor of a dozen matches and a sigh of the current structure of two divisions.
The PCA figures further pointed more than three-quarters of male players, believe that too much home cricket and 72 percent feel that the current program does not affect high performance.
England and Varwickshire Seamer Chris Voakes said, “Players don’t try to play fewer crickets because they don’t want – it’s able to give as possible to create the best cricket on the field.”

Teams play twice in two days in the blast of vitality, they have long worried, with the PCA-I-A executor Daril Mitchell, warning the potential for “catastrophic” consequences on roads.
It seems that the domestic English T20 seems to pass the conversion and return to three groups of six – currently two sets of nine – with each team playing 12 instead of 14 games.
But Mitchell said, “A intense schedule congestion cannot be improved enough with a loss of two 20-through the games at only six-month season.”
English and Essek Seamer I Cook added: “You hear the stories of people who are riding at three, four hours in the middle of the game on the back (explosions), which are wrong from the health and life perspective.
“We want these decisions to be passed before something serious happens.
“We are not able to perform at the highest level that we can because of the current schedule. We have amazing talents and great crickets in the country. I will think of crickets, fans and supporters see the standard.”
