Is the toss on the way out in cricket?
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will discuss a proposal to remove the pre-match toss at a meeting tomorrow.
The proposal would see the away team decide if they wanted to bowl first then they could make the call.
However
if they wanted to bat first then a traditional toss would occur, Reuters reports.
If the ECB go ahead with the proposal it will be trialled in a one-season experiment next year in the second division of the county championship.
