T10 league tournament is happening at the moment
While many saw T20 as the most entertaining format of the game, the T10 format is slowly gaining popularity. The T10 league is seeing an increase in viewership, and it might not be a surprise if, in a few years, we see a few popular boards endorse it. The only downside of the tournament is that the batters are at an advantage. If there can be a change that can assist the bowlers, the T10 format can become even more popular.
Meanwhile, it is high time that the bowlers and the umpires get to wear protective equipment on the field. This will stop any untoward incident in future. Since batsmen usually strike the ball with a lot of power, it could be risky for the outfielders.
