In the middle of this year, Indian Cricket Board President N Srinivasan will take over as the most powerful chairman of the ICC Board.
It has been hotly debated since the Indian board, along with Australia and England, tabled a draft proposal to change the governing body of the world cricket governing body, the ICC. Bangladesh backed the draft proposal after it withdrew from the two-tier test format.
Most of the ICC’s revenue will go to these three countries. However, there is also a ‘Test Cricket Fund’ for the other seven permanent member Test playing nations.
Opportunity to play Tests is also coming in front of the ICC’s partner countries. The winners of the ICC Intercontinental Cup, with ten Test players playing outside the country, will have a chance to play in the play-offs against the team at the bottom of the Test rankings.
