#2 Get rid of the power-play overs
The power-play overs in ODIs make more sense as it is a longer format and also gives options to the batsmen to attack in different phases of the game. In T20s, when there are only 2 fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle for the first 6 overs, the situation is loaded heavily in favour of the batsmen. With short boundaries, lightning quick outfields and absolute flat tracks, it is almost impossible for a bowler to keep the batsmen quiet.
The power-play overs could be taken off and the fielding captains must have the luxury of keeping as many as 5 fielders outside the 30-yard circle throughout the innings, which is the case after the sixth over at present. With so many inventive shots being played these days, this could be another challenge for the muscular batsmen.
