The popularity of Test cricket is slowly declining among the fans due to rise in T20 leagues. However, the consideration of the two-tier system in Test cricket has triggered a debate.
Seeing the original format of cricket dying, many teams officials have proposed a two-tier system in Test cricket.
Australia, England and India representatives are likely to meet ICC Chairman Jay Shah to discuss about a potential two-tier Test system starting in 2027.
According to a report in Seven Cricket, the Test playing nations have been divided into two groups for the two-tier system.
The first division consists of big teams like England, Australia, India, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.
Interestingly, the second division consists of teams like West Indies, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, and Ireland.
