Lashings to join 20Twenty?

Can somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Kent pub side Lashings have applied to join 20twenty.

They would do pretty well.

Its a nice idea, but it wouldnt be fair with everyone else only having 2 overseas stars...
Last check the Twenty20 is purely intended to provide entertainment and bring money into the game. I don't see a problem with it because Lashings' presence will surely do both.

Yes they do want to be apart of it but the ECB aren't sure and haven't commited to a answer yet.

They would certianly bring in the fans to watch however I did speak to Neil about this when I first heard about it about 2 months ago, and he came up with a good reason why it wouldn't work.. but for the life of me I can't remember it.

Neil can't, either.

May have been the fact that it would result in 19 teams which doesn't group nicely at all.

Unless you invite Scotland and Lincolnshire, too... :saint:

Neil, I'm no maths wiz, but adding Scotland and Linconshire to 20Twenty give it 21 teams and the same problem in having 19 teams?
