Innovative rules could boost Twenty20 cricket: Buchanan

8220;It8217;s a revenue generator, and it8217;s bringing people to the game 8211; whether they8217;re new people or not, I don8217;t know. It8217;s in the hands of the administrators now how that will work,8221; he said.

Buchanan sees a role for squads, with players running on and off as they do in America8217;s NFL.

8220;It8217;s the reverse of baseball,8221; Buchanan said. 8220;In baseball, the game8217;s dominated by pitchers and people still want to see that. In Twenty20 cricket, the game8217;s dominated by the bat. Do the administrators want a form of the game that8217;s dominated by one part? They might. But your rules and regulations will be geared towards that. Twenty20 cricket is going to bring innovation. Usually you8217;ve got 14 or 15 players. Well let8217;s play them all. Let8217;s have an interchange. Have your best fielding team on there, get your best bowling team on or best batting team,8221; he said.
