Test Twenty, a New Mixed-Gender Cricket Format, Launched in Colombo
Test Twenty, a new mixed-gender cricket format combining elements of Test and T20 cricket, was launched in Colombo. The 80-over, four-innings format features boys' and girls' teams aged 13 to 21 competing together, with combined scores determining match results. The inaugural season runs from November 14 to 29, featuring four continental franchises. Supported by cricket legends including Matthew Hayden and AB de Villiers, the format aims to promote equality and provide young players with competitive experience in a single-day match structure.
