ABSTRACT
Many of the changes suggested in the previous chapter might be too radical for some of those involved in a game that is renowned for its conservatism. The cry that 'it's not cricket' might go up from the traditionalists if the counties were to be replaced by regions, or more Test matches were to be staged away from the traditional venues. But English cricket, both domestic and international, can ill afford to wallow in nostalgia and ignore the fundamental changes to the geographical environment, both physical and human, in which the games are played.
