Big changes are going to happen in Test and ODI formats, ICC may take decision soon
ICC WTC Logo (Photo Source: To promote the Test and ODI formats, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering making some changes.

The ICC board meeting was held in Dubai, in which women’s cricket was also discussed. If TOI report is to be believed, ICC’s Cricket Committee has received many suggestions in the board meeting. For this reason, the Cricket Committee has recommended that in order to promote Test cricket, as many Day-Night Tests i.e. Pink Ball Test matches should be organized in the next WTC cycle and the Test series should also be of at least 3 matches under the WTC. . ICC is considering conducting a three-match test series An ICC source said, “Some countries like South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka play only two-Test series on most occasions. Only India, England and Australia play long Test series. This does not help in promoting Test cricket and makes the distribution of points very unfair. The recommendations are aimed at eradicating such disparities.” Day-Night Test is currently organized only in Cricket Australia, but BCCI has not played a single Test match with pink ball on its soil for two years. Team India will play the Pink Ball Test in Australia in the coming December. The source said, “The ICC committee believes that more people come to the stadium because of the Test matches played with the pink ball. Recently the viewership in Pakistan has been very low. More tickets than usual were sold in the 3 pink ball test matches played in India. Test playing countries should be encouraged to play more pink ball Test matches.”
