https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/45294390"Men's and women's 100-ball matches are to be trialled in September before a new competition set to start in 2020.
The new format, proposed by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA), is a variation on Twenty20, with 100 balls per side instead of 20 overs.
Nottinghamshire's Trent Bridge will host pilot games from 16-18 September, with all current male players invited.
Loughborough will host the women's games on 14, 15 and 27 September.
Worcestershire batsman and PCA chairman Daryl Mitchell said: "The current plan is to have three or four XIs to maximise the investigations on the three days while making sure the workload for players is manageable.
"We are hopeful the majority of counties will have a representative, although with some counties having first XI and second XI fixtures it will not be possible to have a player from each of the 18 counties.
"All current male players have been contacted to notify them of the details for the pilot matches, with player availability co-ordinated via the counties and the ECB."
