Two-division Test cricket on agenda with ICC to consider WTC expansion
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering a major restructuring of Test cricket, with the possibility of introducing a two-division system. The proposed new structure would feature two tiers, each with six teams. Additionally, the ICC has confirmed that England will host the next three World Test Championship (WTC) finals. This decision comes as the ICC sets up a working group to explore the feasibility of the two-division system. The potential move to a two-division format would be one of the most significant changes in the 133-year history of international cricket. The working group, comprising eight members, has been tasked with providing recommendations to the ICC board by the end of the year. The decision to explore this new structure reflects the ICC's ongoing efforts to enhance the competitiveness and popularity of Test cricket globally.
