The International Cricket Council (ICC)
is contemplating on coming up with a
two-division Test cricket format in
order to make the longest format more
competitive. The two-division split will
allow for relegation and promotion of
teams from the respective divisions,
reported the Guardian.
The top-seven ranked Test sides will
be a part of the first division, while the
next three (West Indies, Bangladesh
and Zimbabwe at present) will be in
the second division. They will retain
their Test status and will play
alongside the two best teams from the
second Tier group based on their
performance in the Intercontinental
Cup. Thus, there will be five teams
playing in the second division.
The last placed team from division one
will be relegated to division two, while
the best team from division two will
get promoted. Read more: ICC mulls two-division format for Test cricket - Cricbuzz
