Glamorgan wicket-keeper batsman and PCA Chairman Mark Wallace has responded to the meeting of county chief executives and chairman at Lord’s yesterday on the future of T20 cricket by saying players are open to change.

The PCA attended the meeting with the counties and MCC, in which a vote was taken to allow the ECB to continue to develop a proposal for a new T20 tournament which would exist alongside the current NatWest T20 Blast tournament.

"If you play good cricket it doesn't matter who you're playing for, I think people want to come and watch the best players playing their best cricket," said Wallace.

“It's about deciding what's the best for English cricket now and cricketers in the future - but it's pretty exciting."

I think for players, playing Twenty20 cricket, be it in franchises or for your clubs, is a great way to play the game. Players are open to change,” he added.

"If you play good cricket it doesn't matter who you're playing for, I think people want to come and watch the best players playing their best cricket."

"People come along to watch high-quality sport, as cricketers we're basically in the entertainment industry and it's about us putting on the best show possible.

"Welsh people are very passionate for their sport and I'm sure they'd come down and watch some good cricket."
