This proposal is a win-win from all angles. Apart from the benefits to cricket, imagine the benefits it brings to communal harmony. You will have teams that are NOT formed along regional lines but a mixture of talent from all over the sub-continent (and beyond). It won't just promote unity within India but also with the neighboring nations. Imagine a team with Sachin, Jaisurya and Shohaib playing against Yuvraj, Murali and Youhana. To add more spice, imagine Wasim Akram coaching TeamA and Kapil coaching TeamB. To top it all, the 20-20 format is what is required in today's game. Noone has the time and patience to sit through a one-day game anymore.
