England's management structure is on course for overhaul after the Ken Schofield chaired post-Ashes review had 17 of their 19 recommendations immediately endorsed.
England and Wales Cricket board chief executive David Collier has been entrusted with formulating a report in line with the seven-man review group's restructuring proposals.
The establishment of a new hierarchical system and a reduced domestic programme are the two suggestions which both Schofield, former head of golf's PGA European Tour, and the governing body insist cannot be hastily acted upon.
Having handed in his committee's report on Tuesday, Schofield sat alongside Collier at Headingley yesterday to reveal the blueprint for future success.
Among the key recommendations are for the value of central contracts to be more heavily performance-weighted, for emerging players to gain more exposure overseas and for succession planning to ensure smooth transitions in future.
''We have to define the roles and after that we have to fit the best people to those roles,'' said Collier.
Schofield and six former Test players' proposal to scrap the NatWest Pro40 competition will be considered in the autumn.
''Under the strict terms of reference we were given in January we were asked to look to improve England's ranking and more especially win a 50-over tournament,'' said Schofield.
''There isn't any 40-over format and we would like to think that domestic limited-overs could reflect the international 50 and 20-over programmes."
