Led by David Morgan, the former President of the ECB and the President of the International Cricket Council, his paper is responsible for producing a detailed plan for a dynamic domestic game in this country.
Ttwweennttyy competition last year, it was difficult to accept, with the decline in attendance, leading to a reduction in the number of fixtures in 2011.
It took almost six months for the counties to consent to the reduction - some are still unhappy with the decision - and remains of this year competition has led to delay in 144 games.
It is a schedule to mammoth. Each team plays at least 16 matches and counties were being imaginative in their attempts to draw supporters. A mixture of pleasure and the naff squarely will include the opportunity to play darts against Phil Taylor at the oval and a night of Elvis in Cardiff.
Morgan report, which will be submitted to the ECB by the end of the year, will be to look beyond just ttwweennttyy competition, but the State of health of the most marketable product county cricket provides strong evidence to make a prognosis for the rest of the inner part.
"There is more fear [in cricket] on the bottom line today than at any time in the last decade," Morgan told Telegraph Sport.
"The recession is not things more easy, but we will work to try to determine what could be a model for the counties of first class in the future.". We can only do that with the valuable contribution of the counties themselves, and I think that it is forthcoming.
"A dynamic domestic game would see enhanced spectator interest.". There is a huge amount of interest in county cricket in this country.
"This is not apparent in terms of crowds on the ground." "There are a few exceptions, but how to sustain that interest with a long summer is something, that we need to consider"
Morgan was not ousted by watching cricket franchise, an expletive at the level of the BCE Board since the advent of the Indian Premier League has changed cricket.
With regard to some players, it is the only possible response. "I believe that we can match the IPL, but you may need to go to a franchise system and cutting teams", said Dominic Cork, the champions Hampshire captain. "It is to produce a good tournament."
"We have one now.". We play too many games but overall if we can try to get too close to possible IPL, then good.
"What we can do, is to ensure that when we play cricket oval, for example, she is excited because you have two teams of franchise such as London to play in Manchester, with lots of international players and some local players." Then we will see large crowds. »
It is for the future and a distant to this. This tournament will be probably more popular this year with no cutting of the world to compete against but also for the football teams to be, once again, an endurance test with the phase of groups packed in only six weeks.
"The schedule is hard," said Cork. "This year finish us a game day and night at 10 pm at Cardiff and start a four-day game the following day morning in Worcester.".
With squadrons County thinner than ever before because of finances, counties have found it difficult to attract the players overseas in first class. It is that tournament this year should be subject of young English players such as Ben Stokes, of Durham, James Taylor, Leicestershire and Jos Buttler of Somerset. With seats are available in squads of a day of England this summer, the next few weeks are a timely opportunity to make a mark.
"Anyone could win this tournament," said Cork. "There are so many good teams out there.". You play twice more teams and Sussex last year walked our Championship but then did not qualify because beat them us on the last day and this is how it goes. You try to build your momentum. You have to at the right time. »
