Kent, Essex, Durham and Middlesex will compete for the chance to be part of the ground-breaking series, during which Trinidad and Tobago will also play in matches against England and the Stanford Super Stars.

ECB chief executive David Collier hailed the arrangement, saying: "It's a great opportunity for the champions to play Trinidad and Tobago. A real opportunity to link the domestic game with international game."

Meanwhile, Collier is "confident" the lucrative Twenty20 Champions League will go ahead as planned.

The winning semi-finalists in this weekend's Twenty20 Cup finals day will ensure qualification for the Champions League, a tournament for all the leading Twenty20 sides around the world with a jackpot of £2.5million for the winners.

"I'm confident it will go ahead this year," Collier said.

"We've had discussions during the week, I think it's well known there are some differences about rules and regulations which still have to be ironed out.

"But certainly, we are hoping for two days in the sun, not just one.

"This (Stanford) game is obviously a great game for the counties to go to, but we're also hoping they will be representing us in the Champions League as well."
