So have two or three groups, play 2 match series. The winners of each group (if it were 3 groups) could meet for for a 'festival of test cricket' and play each other a couple of times over say five or six weeks. The winner could be declared to be the team with the most spirit of cricket.
This must be a joke, right? :p

The prime cause for this flawed structure.
Is it? Sorry but I beg to disagree. India and Pakistan stopped playing each other way back before the idea of WTC had even popped up. If that makes up to the flawed structure then ICC needs a serious overhaul in their policy making.

Let's face it. Had india vs pakistan bilateral been possible. We would have seen almost 90 to 95 percent faceoffs in WTC

Well even Australia had their own share of problems playing in Sri Lanka & Pakistan in the past. They literally given up on their World Cup matches. So there has to be solution for this as well. Shouldn't there be one?

The most simple alternative I could suggest is just seperate teams into 2 groups and keep India and Pakistan in different groups.

How different is it from playing with six nations?

But atleast the series won't be unequal or unevenly distributed. Have a 4-year cycle is the best thing we can expect.
Now you're talking. However icc has to make peace with all boards and they do have a say in this as well.

So this seems not plausible.

Only England-India series and Australia-England series are 5 match series. Rest all are mostly 2-4 match series.
Ind vs Eng also 5 test Series but yes Very Odd way ICC calculated points ind vs eng or ashes each win =24 points while 2 test series each win = 60 points

This mos> November 2021,SL vs WI will play 2 test on Galle where Lanka will Drill their Fa**y with wins>> 120 points easily.

I heard from Now on, ICC change rules on
Winning % than Actual points which desides number 1 or number 2 team

For example if india win more matches by next Year than australia, ( India still remains 2nd in Table 'cause of less % than side winning less but better %)

You may sorts out more in ICC sites

Icc still not Qualify Afg/Ire & zimbabwe ( Suspended for a while for 365 days) for Test Championship yet so there is no point to Discuss.

All those 3 country should play 4 day matches in side their country or sends their A team to other country so they gets use to for 4 or 5 day cricket.

India beat Afghanistan in one of test in 4 hours by an innings

Lunch & tea took 10 wkts

After tea & Close of 2nd day 10 more wkts

Since than they not much change they keep playing T20i more >> their captain Retired 72 hours ago who won 42 out of 52 Int'L (t20I) for Afghanistan @ world record.

India Gifted them A Ground in Noida, New Delhi but they never use it for 4 day Intra xl matches there.
Zimbabwe & Ireland Domestic cricket too way poor to scheduling matches.

If i have to run ICC i can Dis-qualify Bangladesh for all int'L who beats everyone in their own backyard but not play more than 2 series ( 1 before ICC gave them warning) in entire year
