South Africa proposes exchangeable pitches to handle busier cricket calendar

Original: South Africa's answer to heavier cricket calendar: the exchangeable pitch

Cricket South Africa is backing the idea of an exchangeable pitch — a removable, replaceable playing surface that could be swapped in quickly — as a way to cope with an increasingly crowded international and franchise schedule. The concept would let venues host more matches with less recovery time for the square, and is being discussed as a possible innovation for the sport's fixture congestion problem.

Why now: Cricket's expanding calendar is putting pressure on venues, and this proposal offers a novel scheduling solution
