England set to get T20 tournament

LONDON: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has given his support after officials has set in motion the procedure that could lead English cricket to have a new eight-team Twenty20 tournament. England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chiefs, having seen the success of the Indian Premier League and especially Australia's citybased Big Bash Twenty20 tournaments, believe they need something similar to help them reach family audiences and encourage children to become fans of the sport.
