The head of Australia's players' union has made a radical proposal to introduce a transfer system to "better utilise unemployed Test-quality players", suggesting a star such as unwanted England batsman Kevin Pietersen could be retained on the international scene by playing for a country such as Zimbabwe.
The recommendation is contained among a series of suggestions to enhance the international game in the Australian Cricketers' Association's newly released annual report. In his report that opens the document, ACA president Greg Dyer also calls for the establishment of an ICC Test championship to enliven the five-day game and celebrates the removal of ICC chairman Narayanaswami Srinivasan.
However, the most eye-catching of the 10 recommendations is for the introduction of a system whereby the likes of Pietersen, whose cards have been marked for life by England, could resume his international career with another nation.
