PCB endorsed Sachin Tendulkar's view of splitting one-day international matches into four innings with 25 overs each.

 

Sultan Rana, chief of PCB's domestic cricket department, backed the proposal to split one-day international matches into four innings.

 

"If the International Cricket Council allows its members to experiment with this new format we will definitely be keen to try it out because our domestic structure is tailormade for this new concept," Rana said.

 

A member of the famous Rana cricket family in Pakistan, Sultan feels many countries would soon try to experiment with the four-innings concept in their domestic level events.

 

"I think it is going to happen soon. Because by splitting one-day games into four innings will basically allow the ICC and other countries to make one-day matches as interesting and popular as Twenty20 matches are now," he said. .
