The former Test captain has spent the last six months overseeing a high-performance review for the ECB, launched in the aftermath of last winter's Ashes thrashing, and has presented 17 recommendations.
Fifteen of those fall under the remit of the governing body and already have the required backing, but two key proposals involving a wholesale reorganisation of the county calendar need the support of at least 12 of the 18 first-class counties to go ahead.
Strauss' panel advocates a reduction from 14 Championship matches per side to 10, with a six-team top division sitting above two secondary conferences who would play off for one annual promotion.
Matches would be staged more evenly throughout the season, rather than the current model that sees four-day cricket crammed in at the start and the end of the campaign, while the possibility of red-ball 'festival' matches during the August window for The Hundred is also mooted.
