Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board president Azim Bassarath is expecting more intense matches in the 2015 domestic National League season after his executive signed off on some major changes for next season which he hopes will help raise the standard of the local competition.
Among them is the re-introduction of three-day cricket as well as the reduction in the number of teams in the Premier Division from 12 to ten and the introduction of an eight-team second division which will be called the Premier Two.
The rest of the Championship Division clubs will make up the three eight-team Championship Divisions—North-Central, East North East and South.

Well done T&T. Maybe some changes won't work, but you have to keep trying new things to know.

Sounds promising. I'm not familiar with the TTCB leagues, did they play one-day as well as two-day before?

They got some more money from big brother.

You cant have a longer regional domestic season and your satellites prepared for playing 2 days at most smile

Why not make it in such a way that if a match needs a 4th day they go into it just for a result.
3 DAYS does not fully do justice for a player who wants to or needs to bat for loooong periods to either find form or build his game.
Give them the 4 days. When they transcend to the national team they have to play 4 days so let them experience it all the time.

Good.

Sounds like they are just mimicking the Barbados leagues

It doesn't go far enough. But nonetheless, a step in the right direction.

Opportunity for players like Barath to refocus on PROPER batting.

THis is what I have been advocating for in Jamaica's Senior Cup league. No way you can have 4 innings in 2 days.
