According to me T20 has no future in International Cricket England coach: Trevor Bayliss

According to me T20 has no future in International Cricket England coach: Trevor Bayliss 

However, the 55-year-old expects separate T20 coaches - Ricky Ponting has expressed interest in a role of that ilk for Australia - to become the norm as the international calendar tries to fit in that format, ODI cricket and Test matches.

"I haven't changed my opinion - I wouldn't play T20 international cricket," Bayliss told  Ian Ward following England's two-run win at Seddon Park in their 100th Twenty20 international.

"If you want to play a World Cup every four years or so then maybe get the international teams to play six months before but I'd just let the franchises play.

"I think [separate T20 coaches] is definitely the way it's heading if we continue to put in so many games. There will be a blow out with coaches."

Australia have won each of their four games in the Tri-Series so far with a squad of players who had principally come off the back of strong Big Bash League campaigns, such as D'Arcy Short, Billy Stanlake and Chris Lynn.

Bayliss says that T20 experience showed in the Trans-Tasman series and thinks cricket will continue to see players focussing on the white-ball game over the red - England spinner Adil Rashid doing that this week after confirming he will only play limited-overs cricket in 2018.

"It is quite obvious that [Australia's] players have all come out of two months of T20 cricket, whereas both New Zealand and England have been playing other forms or, as is the case for some of our guys, sitting at home," said Bayliss.
