Richard Petrie: Former International Cricket player on the letter against NZ20

Description

The off-field wrangling over whether New Zealand adopts a franchise Twenty20 cricket model continues. 

A group of fifteen former internationals signed an open letter raising concerns over the viability of NZ20, a privately backed T20 league.  

Richard Petrie was one of these signatories who sees this idea as being detrimental to domestic cricket in New Zealand.   

He told Piney they’re not opposed to a T20 competition per se, but rather a private organisation coming in and taking over the January window for profit making reasons. 

Petrie says it would put New Zealand cricket in turmoil.
