New Zealand Cricket is faced with ever-growing tension and a major decision.  

The organisation is considering an overhaul of the domestic game, a privatised T20 league, dubbed NZ20.  

Former NZ Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan joined D’Arcy Waldegrave to discuss the complexities of the situation, what will happen, and whether it’s a good idea. 

Vaughan told D’Arcy that it’s been coming for a long time.  

He says the tension between international and domestic cricket has been gathering momentum, and the time for NZ Cricket to make some difficult decisions will arrive very soon.
