A new cricket format called Test Twenty will launch in Colombo, Sri Lanka, featuring 160 players aged 13 to 21.
• Four teams will compete, each with 20 boys and 20 girls. Boys and girls will play separately, but their runs will be added together.
Each match will have 80 overs, split into 40 overs with a red ball during the day and 40 with a white ball under lights.
AB de Villiers and Matthew Hayden are on the advisory board, with the tournament scheduled from November 14 to 29.
