(Reuters) - The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) should consider a shortened County Championship season without overseas players for two years to offset the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak, former England skipper Michael Vaughan said.

The ECB has extended its suspension of the professional game until July 1 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which means nine rounds of County Championship fixtures will be lost.
