MORE T20 games are on the cards for Upper Loddon cricket next season, after the format proved a winner with administrators, supporters and players.
The fast 20-over format – games are usually finished within three hours – appeals to prospective players who may not have the time for longer form one-day and two-day matches.
Association president John Daldy is a huge advocate for T20, introduced this season for the first time.
Speaking after Kingower defeated Wedderburn to win the inaugural Loddon Herald Cup on Sunday, Daldy said he was keen to see more T20 games played next season, following the five rounds plus final played this year.
“What T20 is doing is bringing people out to the games and players back to the game,” he said.
While any decision would be made after the season ends in March, Daldy was confident there was wide support for increasing the number of T20 matches in future.
Any expansion would come at the expense of one-day or two-day contests.
Both Kingower captain Jayden Leach and Wedderburn skipper Will Holt said before the final that T20 had invigorated the competition and brought in new and returning players who might not have signed up under the format of previous seasons.
