Cricket Australia could cut the Sheffield Shield final from the country’s domestic season to make way for an expanded Twenty20 Big Bash.
A longer Twenty20 tournament would make it difficult to keep the same amount of games in the Sheffield Shield and FR Cup, and one option is to scrap the first-class final and instead award the trophy to the state that tops the table after the 10 rounds.
"There's obviously been discussion around the traps," Tony Dodemaide, Cricket Victoria's chief executive, told the Herald Sun.
"To expand the T20, the alternatives are to extend the season or to find room, and trimming either the Shield or one-day cricket are the only ways to do that."
