I personally think that the championship should be split into three leagues, with a couple of the minor counties included or even the likes of Scotland, Holland or from a few years ago, the unicorns. Play it at different times of the season so that there will be bowler friendly conditions, some spinner friendly conditions and of course batting friendly conditions. Introduce a rigid transfer system with a better loan system so that the talent that isnt getting a go at the better counties can go and get game time, rather than playing in the seconds or in village cricket and maybe allow two overseas players to be in a team like teams used to be allowed. But also increase the penalties for playing kolpak players.
Change the od and t20 comps into conferences leading to finals day. Scrap the idea of 100 ball cricket, if you want a shorter format, go for the t10 cricket that got trialled in uae this winter and make it city based, but play it at all the grounds, you could have two games per day at one ground and the tournament could be done and dusted in a couple of weeks. The big players would come as it isnt much of a commitment, it would be the length of a holiday
