DUBAI – Fears that West Indies would be relegated into a second tier of Test cricket were allayed yesterday when the former world champions were included in a nine-team Test League scheduled to begin in 2019.
Cricket’s world governing body, the International Cricket Council approved the new structure at their meeting in Auckland while also giving the nod to a 13-team One-Day International league, which is set to start in three years’ time.
The Test league will comprise the top-nine ranked sides who will play six series in a two-year span – three home and three away.
Each series will range from a minimum of two Tests to five, and will result in World Test League Championship final. (CMC)
