How do you accommodate that growth in essentially the same compressed period without putting more pressure on players, spectators and everyone delivering the tournament?

But families follow teams, players and compelling cricket.
We should build a better experience through sensible timings, weekends and comfortable stadium conditions, while taking school calendars into account.
I did not create it to stand still.
