Twenty20 cricket matches were first played in England in 2003.
The format received the thumbs-up in 2001, with an 11-7 vote in favor.
When the knock-out competition (The Benson and Hedges Cup) had finished in 2002, another competition was needed to fill in the time before the next competition. And this was when Stuart Robinson suggested a 20 over-per-side format - so as to optimize batting effort and minimize cricketers' fatigue.
A Perth-based mathematician, George Christos, also claims to have invented a similar format, though these claims are dismissed.
