Michael Vaughan and Dominic Cork believe England must introduce a franchise T20 competition, for the good of the national side. Michael Vaughan and Dominic Cork believe England must introduce a franchise T20 competition, for the good of the national side.

Michael Vaughan and Dominic Cork headed to Sky Studios on Wednesday to deliver their punditry on the IPL – but when the gods opened and play was abandoned, they talked English cricket instead.

The former England stars explained why the ECB needs to adopt an IPL-style system following the country’s continued toils in the international one-day arena, most recently at the World Cup.

Vaughan and Cork also discussed how important it is to get more English players – especially the ones in the full England set-up – into the IPL and Big Bash competitions and to encourage the best overseas stars to head to these shores for Twenty20 cricket.

Cork even made an argument for England to play just one touring team each summer and use that gap in the calendar to house a bells-and-whistles T20 competition.
