Definitely agree on teams must visit Pakistan. Teams must give Pakistan a chance to prove that they are better prepared in terms of security compared to 2009 which was 12 years ago. Hospitality is never a question as you would get top notch hospitality from fans and people of any Asian countries.

Cricket should perhaps move towards a continental approach. Each cycle should last 6 months and you play against all the teams in that continent. Lets look how that would work. (Top 25 T20 teams)

India

Year 1- 1st Half - Play Asian continent - Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal
Year 1 - 2nd Half - Play African continent - South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Kenya
Year 2 - 1st Half - Asian Continent - Pakistan, UAE, Qatar, Oman
Year 2 - 2nd Half - Europe - England, Ireland, Scotland, Jersey, Netherlands
Year 3 - 3 months - Australian continent - Australia, New Zealand, PNG
Year 3 - 2 months - Asian Continent - Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Singapore
Year 3 - 2 months - North American continent - West Indies, Canada, USA

Play 3 test, 3 T20 and scrap ODI's for just World Cups. 4th year have all 3 trophies at the same time. WTC finals, 50 over World CUp and T20 worldcup. Every country gets to brag about a cup for 3 years. Rinse repeat.

There's no way England or Australia, West Indies, New Zealaand, South Africa would agree to that.
 
What's the latest on the ICC WT20 2024? Will it still be held in WI/USA? I believe the success of the MLC should dictate the way forth?

The last I heard was they will move the 2024 T20 WC to England and WI/USA will host the 2030 edition that England/Ireland/Scotland/Wales are going to host.
 
I have recently created this proposal to suggest how we can fix up the international cricket scheduling mess with a more streamlined and less cluttered schedule for the next cycle after the current future tours proposal.

The link to it is - rogerswebsite.com/cricket/FTP_Proposal.pdf

Any feedback is welcomed and feel free to share it around if you think it has merit.

The purpose of this proposed schedule is to have a SIMPLE, CONSISTENT 4 year schedule that, for the most part, can be replicated each 4 years with very little adjustment.

This humble attempt at improving and streamlining international cricket scheduling is built upon four key recommendations:

1) Splitting the calendar into distinct international cricket and T20 windows with virtually no overlap between the two.

2) Implementing Ravi Shastri’s recommendation of splitting the test nations into two divisions with promotion and relegation for each 4 year cycle where the top division of 8 teams plays each other home and away every 4 years.

3) Implementing the MCC’s recommendation to play ODI’s in the year leading up to the World Cup, starting off with the current meaningless ICC Champions Trophy and giving it some purpose. International white ball games are all T20’s in 3 years out of each 4 year cycle and ONLY ODI’s in the year leading up to the World Cup.

4) A more simplified four year cycle of tournaments. There is to be only one T20 World Cup each 4 year cycle, not two. The second is effectively to be replaced by the recently approved Olympic cricket tournament.

I like the amount of thought and attention to detail put into this, although there are some things I found problematic.

Having such a clean split between T20 and Internationals seems like a good solution, and it still allows players to appear in 3-4 (icc sanctioned) T20 leagues a year

I believe all Test series should be 3 or 5 matches, I wouldn't like so many one-off Tests. Of course, if we're going all in on fairness, I'd say all teams play the same length Test series in the championship and the table should be based on points, not points %. I do not believe a two division style structure is the best option, given how competitive Test cricket has been this year, eg Bangladesh, who you've got in Div2 blanked Pakistan away. The other lower-ranked teams will also only get better from playing better opposition.

UAE in october isn't even cool enough to stage T10, forget T20

Your English domestic season is downright crazy. Playing 5 days a week for 9 weeks straight is suicide
