New Delhi, December 29: Test cricket appears set for an overhaul – a Championship League, 4-day matches and day-night ties being among the possibilities.
“There are so many ideas all over the place”, according to the International Cricket Council (ICC) Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat who said that a 5-member sub-committee was looking into the options to arrest the sagging interest in Test cricket.
Lorgat told PTI in an interview that “some form” of a Test Championship League (TCL) was what the ICC is trying to achieve in place of World Test Championship mooted earlier and opposed by countries like India because it impacted on their scheduling.
Former South African wicketkeeper Dave Richardson, David Collier (England), N Srinivasan (India), James Sutherland (Australia) and Nishanta Ranatunga (Sri Lanka) were members of the committee that was formulating proposals on boosting Test cricket.
