English cricket's new city-based Twenty20 tournament is a giant stride closer after counties supplied the mandate necessary to "trigger" a postal vote for constitutional change.
ECB chief executive Tom Harrison confirmed the latest plans for the competition which will borrow from the formats of the Indian Premier League and the Big Bash.
That assent, allowing ECB to add the new tournament to a portfolio offered to prospective media outlets, is a significant indicator that it will be full steam ahead to a brave new world for cricket in this country.
To ease that passage, a minimum 31 of the 41 ECB stakeholders must give their consent.
