If there hadn't been enough happen already today... The 18 first-class counties have voted to reject reform of the Championship. The current two-division system remains. 10 in the top tier, eight in the second. Two up, two down, 14 matches each.

🇯🇪Cricket is booming in the Channel Islands. Jersey has a population of 100,000, and yet they only missed out on the T20 WC on net-run-rate, and are currently on track to make the ODI WC. Can they really make it? A piece from the Rock. https://t.co/yCInOEJrWp

ECN have cancelled the European Cricket Series in Romania which was due to start tomorrow citing 'force majeure'. Event was now "unfeasible" to hold. ECN say they are "committed to producing, promoting, and funding cricket across Europe" but they "must also act responsibly".

The impact of Dream11 and fantasy cricket effectively being outlawed in India is also set to have a big impact on franchise tournaments around the world. A number of T20 franchise leagues are heavily reliant on Dream11 and fantasy cricket. 2/2

A trio of 1980s pioneers concoct an idea. Romania’s Rebecca Blake averages 108 from 13 T20Is. Virat Kohli becomes the first player to reach a 900 rating in the ICC rankings in every format, a year after retiring from T20Is. All these things are connected https://t.co/aywuu93iXj

Virat Kohli achieved a new career-high ICC rating in T20Is this week, without having played a game in over a year. Ben Gardner explains how.

Olympic cricket tournament structure has been agreed by LA 2028 organisers, IOC and ICC. 🇺🇸🏅 Slightly curious model...based on T20 World Cup but no semis. India facing 0900 starts to appeal to home TV audiences. ICC will debate qualifying at AGM. https://t.co/R6hHeojCe3
