Sunil Gavaskar Proposes Separate Divisions for T20I Records Involving Associate Nations
Sunil Gavaskar has proposed introducing separate divisions for men's T20 International cricket records, similar to football leagues, to address disparities between full-member and Associate nations. He argues that performances in matches involving Associate teams, which often feature mismatched competition levels, should not be directly compared with those involving established cricketing nations. Gavaskar cited recent examples like Mongolia's low innings totals and highlighted several records held by Associate teams, suggesting a classification system to maintain fairness in record-keeping.
