Cricket Fans, how would YOU fix cricket?
Both the and Tests showed us that the longest form of the game is still valuable in the modern world. With T20 leagues growing and the financial & scheduling conflicts at an-time high, here are my 14 Points for the survival of cricket in the modern era:
1. Creation of the Test Match Fund
2. Establishment of Minimum Test Match Fees
3. Introduction of Test Windows
4. Abolishment of the Bilateral ODI Series
5. Abolishment of the Bilateral T20I Series
6. Transforming the 2-year WTC cycle into a Concentrated Test WC
7. Two-tiered Test League with Relegation and Promotion
8. Four Day 3-Match Test series instead of 2-Match Series
9. Advertising Revenue and ICC Funding for County Cricket & other domestic tournaments
10. Mandatory Practice Matches with Similar Pitches
11. Revival of the ODI Super League, Revamping of Qualification/Ranking Systems
12. Staggered ODI & T20I World Cups Every 2 Years
13. Maximum Leagues Cap for Nationally Contracted Players
14. Re-Establish Champions League, Limit Expansion of the IPL.
