T10 proposal is a cry for help from counties who know they're heading for a 'cliff edge' - here's what it reveals about the future for the haves and have nots of the county game, writes LAWENCE BOOTH

Sussex's new chairman has proposed a T10 cricket competition as a potential solution to the financial pressures facing counties not included in The Hundred tournament. The proposal highlights the growing financial divide between counties that participate in The Hundred and those that do not, with the latter reportedly facing a looming 'cliff edge' in their finances. Lawrence Booth of the Daily Mail argues the suggestion reveals deeper structural concerns about the future sustainability of county cricket's have-nots.
