The Chairmen of two leading county cricket clubs have hailed England's November Twenty20 ties in the Caribbean.

Paul Millman, Chairman of Kent CC, said: "It's a great boost for the game. What Twenty20 is doing for the game around the world is fantastic."

Mike Newell, the Nottinghamshire Chief Executive, agreed, saying: "It's a great time to be a young cricketer. It's a great thing for the game as long as we prioritise other competitions and make sure the mix of Twenty20 and the longer game continues. Twenty20 has brought a lot of good things to cricket."
