"I don't like to move away from the traditional game but whatever the administrators decide we'll have to go with and move on," Mathews told reporters at Lord's yesterday after former England captain Michael Vaughan labelled the proposal a needless 'over-complication'.
"We have to experience and see whether it's good or bad," added the 28-year-old all-rounder.
"I don't like to move away from the traditions of the game. I like the good old five days," he said.
