Adam Parore: Private franchises will be the face of sport's future

We've all seen amazing changes for the world's finest cricketers, which have been highlighted by events of the past few days.

Daniel Vettori finishes a match in Invercargill one day, then flies to Sydney to play for Queensland the next, meeting up with his new team mates just before the game.

The fabulous Sri Lankan Tillakaratne Dilshan needs a helicopter ride to get to Mt Maunganui for Northern Districts.

Where is the brave new world for cricket going to end up?

There will be many twists and turns but here is how I believe the game will take shape.

Twenty20 itself will face reinvention, to maximise its potential and keep interest high. One-day cricket quickly became tired, and Twenty20 bosses will be mindful of that.

The difference is that this cricket revolution will be moulded and run by free enterprise.

I believe that private Twenty20 franchises will become the bedrock of cricket, a la professional clubs in football, and this is where the bulk of the game will exist.

Test cricket will survive, and the five-day format will be safeguarded because you need this length of time to allow the changing conditions, primarily concerning the pitch, to create the chance of a thrilling contest.

Twenty20 will change the way test cricket is played by technique, and this has already happened anyway to some extent. The retired Australian test opener Matthew Hayden, who could tear attacks apart from the outset, is a prime example of this.

The way Twenty20 develops will see cricket much more market driven than ever before. No longer will proposed innovations have to battle their way past bureaucracy and hierarchies and men who feel an obligation to preserve traditions.

Powerbrokers like Lalit Modi, the boss of the IPL, can institute changes as they see fit, whenever they see fit. Twenty20 itself is fast and furious, and the way it is controlled may be much the same.

What to do with Jesse Ryder?

One thing is for sure, we will need him against Australia.

I am completely mystified by his injury situation. Ryder may have the longest lower abdominal strain in history - someone with a heart transplant would have been back quicker. In my day, about six weeks did the trick. Ryder has been crocked for about six months.

Ryder won't be needed against Bangladesh so hopefully five or six domestic games should get him right for the Aussies. Maybe.

Jeff Crowe would be superb as the new Black Caps' manager, as would Mark Greatbatch as batting coach.

These are the names being suggested, which is encouraging.

You'd have trouble finding anyone with a bad word to say about former New Zealand skipper Crowe. He is just the sort of person who would work very well with the all-powerful captain Daniel Vettori.

Greatbatch is definitely someone who could bring improvements to our batters.

The problem might be whether they want to take up the jobs. Crowe has a sweet role as an ICC match referee - although the World Cup final revealed the job's pressure - and lives in the United States. Greatbatch has a young family. We shall see, but these are promising signs.

John Wright's name inevitably comes up at these times and he is a man with many strengths. But famously in cricket circles, one of those strengths is not organisation.

He could be an excellent coach, with a dedicated manager alongside. But I don't believe this is what the Black Caps are looking for right now, which sort of rules Wrighty out.
