Social Media Reacts as India, Australia, and England Discuss Groundbreaking Two-Tier Test Format with Jay Shah
India, Australia, and England are in talks with ICC Chairman Jay Shah to introduce a two-tier Test cricket system. The plan, set to take effect after the 2027 Future Tours Program, would see top teams play more frequently. While the move has support, including from Ravi Shastri, it could limit opportunities for smaller nations like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
Social media has been buzzing with discussions surrounding the proposed two-tier Test cricket system. India, Australia, and England are in talks with ICC’s Jay Shah about creating this new structure, which would divide the top cricketing nations into two divisions. This move comes after the massive success of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which saw 837,879 spectators and record-breaking viewership.
If implemented, the system would see these top teams face each other more frequently, enhancing the competitiveness of Test cricket. However, it could limit opportunities for smaller nations like Bangladesh and Afghanistan. This proposal marks a shift from past objections, notably from the BCCI, to a two-tier format.
