South Africa proposes exchangeable pitches to handle busier cricket calendar

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

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
