First thing - get rid of "The Hundred" - not needed, too much "Mickey Mouse" cricket. Simple.

What needs doing is clear. The game has to be rebalanced to include, promote and encourage the development of all formats rather than get them comoeting against each other. The political will to do this is another matter. All the ECB's recent appointments have pointed away from this to a continuation with the present white ball direction, with a bunch of shiny bright young things without an idea in their head or qualifications for the jobs they've been shoehorned into. In other words, easy to manipulate and there for the blame to be apportioned if things go wrong. Typical business ethics.

What should the next CEO do…easy! 1. Scrap the Hundred from 2023 2. A nice easy one bring back batsman and batswoman and stop p***ing around with such things.
