The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that it was considering implementing the Sachin Tendulkar's suggestion to split One Day Internationals into four innings of 25 overs each. ICC cricket manager Dave Richardson said a trial could be introduced soon. I quite like that idea, I believe South Africa may trial something along those lines, he told BBC Sport. Richardson revealed the concept of two 25-over innings had been proposed a number of times and resurfaced once again at the ICC's cricket committee annual meeting at Lord's in May. Richardson, though sounded a note of caution, with his concern that splitting the innings could take away scoring opportunities for the batsmen. The ICC's cricket committee is set to meet again in 2010 when the results of the experiment will be discussed.
