An eight‑member working group, headed by ICC’s new chief executive officer Sanjog Gupta, has been formed by the game’s global governing body to explore the possibility of restructuring Test cricket into a two‑tier system.
The committee was set up during ICC’s annual general meeting in Singapore under the all‑Indian leadership of the chair, Jay Shah and Gupta, who was appointed as CEO earlier this month. Other members of the panel include England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief executive Richard Gould and the Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive Todd Greenberg, according to a report in The Guardian.
“Any changes would be introduced for the next cycle of the World Test Championship, due to run from 2027 to 2029, and involve an expansion from the current nine‑team format to two divisions of six,” the report read.
More than ten years after its last edition, the Champions League T20 (CLT20), a club‑based international T20 competition, could make a comeback next year, with the ICC actively exploring its revival.
