Heath Mills: NZ Cricket Players Association CEO on NZ Cricket backing NZ20 to replace Super Smash

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

A T20 cricketing revolution is officially underway in New Zealand.  The governing body is backing the proposed NZ20 privatised franchise league as a preferred option for the domestic game next season, which already has major association and players' association support.  NZC say the decision is in principle only.  Players Association CEO Heath Mills told Mike Hosking the level of interest in the competition and potential teams has been encouraging.  He says New Zealand is institutionalised to believe we’re too small or don’t have enough money for a league, but other, smaller economies such as the West Indies have had incredibly successful leagues.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
