The International Cricket Council is being lobbied to make T10 an officially recognised format in the future.
Sources have told BBC Sport at least two full members are pushing for the ICC to consider granting List A status to T10 franchise domestic competitions.
The inclusion of the format would enable the statistics from sanctioned T10 leagues and tournaments to be included in a player’s official averages.
Discussions over the subject took place at the ICC’s latest board meeting which is being held in Harare, Zimbabwe from 10 to 13 April.
The issue was not listed as an official item on the agenda at the meeting, presided over by ICC chair Jay Shah, but was brought up on an informal basis.
It was said to have gained little traction from the majority of those in attendance, but it is a topic which will be revisited should it garner further support.
The ICC is responsible for the classification of official cricket, external and since 2007 has been responsible for the definition of List A, which is the limited overs format of the sport.
Prior to 2007 the definition of List A matches and the application of the definition was overseen by the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians.
When approached by BBC Sport the ICC declined to comment.
