Cricket - Twenty/20
Twenty/20,
also known as T20 cricket, was originally introduced in England for
professional inter-country competition by the England Cricket Board (ECB), in
2003. A Twenty20 game involves two teams, each has a single innings, batting
for a maximum of 20 overs.
A Twenty/20 game is completed in about three and
half hours, with each innings lasting around 75 minutes, thus bringing the game
closer to the timespan of other popular team sports. It was introduced to
create a lively form of the game which would be attractive to spectators at the
ground and viewers on television and as such it has been very successful.
Since its inception the game has spread around
the cricket world. On most international tours there is at least one Twenty/20
match and all Test-playing nations have a domestic cup competition. 2011 Divisions: Open | SPORT | TEAM SQUAD SIZE MAX | MIN REQUIRED TO TAKE FIELD |
