There seems set to be a shake-up to the construction of males’s World Cups in each codecs.
A proposal is on the desk to scale back the 50-over World Cup from 14 groups to 12 together with the addition of a ‘tremendous seven’ stage.
This might even be in place for the 2027 version, which is being co-hosted by South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
To attain it, the ICC is prone to solely permit two groups to progress from a worldwide qualifying event slightly than 4 as initially deliberate.
A tweak to the T20 World Cup can be stated to be beneath overview, with the ‘tremendous eight’ stage rising to a ‘tremendous 10’ section.
All the above may result in a rise within the one fixture the ICC needs to see extra of: India versus Pakistan.
The 2 sides don’t play one another outdoors main tournaments however it’s seen as probably the most marketable fixture for tv.
Elsewhere, England, India and Australia have their key fixtures for the Future Excursions Programme (FTP) for 2027 to 2031 locked in alongside world tournaments, however the remainder of the total members are but to type out their schedules.
There’s a assembly pencilled in for August when they are going to try to thrash out the rest of the calendar earlier than a ultimate overview in September.
Moreover, it appears extremely seemingly the variety of white-ball bilateral collection performed by groups will lower after the subsequent FTP cycle.
Of their place will probably be a collection of mini inter-continental quadrangular tournaments, prone to be with two groups from every full member area.
