In a discussion following Mike Brearley's Bradman Oration for 2013, Rodney Marsh offered the suggestion that :

Twenty20 matches be restricted to players over the age of 30.

While careful not to attribute the idea to himself, nor even express his wholehearted support

for the concept, Marsh forecast the possibility of T20 becoming a sort of long service reward

once cricketers had fought through the longer game for their club, state and country.  ;)

Such a scenario would lengthen the careers of those players who reached their later years

with physical and mental baggage, while also eradicating the current trouble most nations

are experiencing around grooming young players for three wildly disparate formats.

A wise man said to me not that long ago that you shouldn't be allowed to play Twenty20 cricket

until you're 30," Marsh said.

"And if you just stop and think about that, I don't think that's a bad solution.

Maybe it should be the topping on the cake after your career, after you've fought your guts out

for your country, after you've given everything to the real form of the game, then you get your

rewards by playing the short form of the game. I'm not saying I agree with it necessarily,

but I'm not saying I disagree with it.

In fact I'm sitting on the fence."  8)

"It's a heck of a challenge,"  Greg Chappel  ;)

"The modern cricketer is challenged more than any other generation before with the different

formats and the adaptability required to go across the formats. I think it will be very hard for

most cricketers to play all three formats. It is a real challenge for young cricketers to try to develop

their game to be chopping and changing so much and playing so much T20 cricket early on.

What it requires to be a good hitter is very different to what it requires to be a good batter."

I thought the basis for the suggestion would be to hone the skills of young players.....!!!

I am sure that the idea is not to have Sloggers too early in their cricket Life ..

Yeah posing it as some sort of prize for "fighting the guts out for your country" is duh, what ridiculous reasoning. I thought he'd have been thinking of good chunk of young players turning into inadeqaute sloggers and failing at the test level. But think that's far from what he's saying here.
