(Reuters) - A new-look County Championship and a reduced fixture list across all formats are among the recommendations proposed in the high-performance review of men's cricket in England, published by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Thursday.

The review, commissioned after England's Ashes debacle in January, was led by former captain Andrew Strauss, who also served as the ECB's interim director of cricket after Ashley Giles was sacked in February.
