I Trust Sport’s Ed Hawkins has written an article for the March 2024 edition of The Cricketer magazine on the governance challenges faced by T20 franchise cricket.
The format is a money-spinning success and the envy of other sports, so much so that is destined for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
However, the franchise competitions and ownership structures are patchy at best in terms of organisational transparency. T20’s Olympic involvement will only increase the scrutiny.
The article discusses:
- The lack of dedicated reporting channels
- The need for defined players’ rights and responsibilities
- Potential consequences
- And some possible solutions
