ICC will face big problems while deciding the program

Barclay, who became ICC chairman in November 2020, said that the ICC would face major problems while deciding the next future tour schedule starting next year. He said, ‘Every year there is a tournament for women’s and men’s cricket. Apart from this, the domestic league is increasing. This is making the bilateral series shorter.

“It will have unfortunate consequences,” he said. Also from the point of view of playing experience and also on the revenue of those countries which do not get much play opportunities especially against teams like India, Australia or England. Test cricket will remain an integral part of the game in the next 10-15 years but the number of matches may be reduced.
