'Twenty20 to blame for poor Ashes display,' says Yorkshire director
From Barry McGuigan and Carl Frampton to Tyrone McKenna and Lewis Crocker, the city’s fighters carry a complex history into the ring, writes JOHN WIGHT
YORKSHIRE director of cricket Martyn Moxon yesterday claimed that England’s Test prospects are being undermined by the counties’ focus on the financial rewards of Twenty20.
England’s humiliating Ashes loss in Australia, where they have lost the opening three Tests to surrender the urn before Christmas, has put the domestic game under the spotlight, with the lack of pace bowlers coming through a particular issue.
With T20 now being played in the middle of the season to maximise revenue, marginalising a large chunk of the County Championship to April and September, Moxon says the county game is no longer a breeding ground for Test players.
