Decision on future of T20 cricket still a way off
from Checkpoint
The long-anticipated decision on the future of Twenty20 cricket in New Zealand still appears to be a way off. Speculation had been mounting that Monday was "D-Day" for New Zealand Cricket. The board had been expected to decide whether to back the proposed NZ-20 franchise competition, or pursue a plan to enter a New Zealand team in Australia's Big Bash League. However it appears the decision has been deferred - extending a process that has already exposed deep divisions within the sport. Sports editor Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.
