#5 14-per side teams
The MCA has already given a green signal to this suggestion from Sachin, who proposed that teams should be allowed to field 14 members instead of 11 at the school level so that the best batsmen and bowlers can all play and get a chance.
This novel idea used for warm-up games before the World Cup can definitely ensure more players get a chance at the school level to show their talent and will greatly help to take the game forward at the grass-roots level.
The idea is easy to implement given that teams do have big squads and will be welcome to players, who miss out only because of their strong contingents or team balance and not because of their lack of ability.
