The International Cricket Council (ICC) this September has announced some new rules in their tally which is now included in cricket. ICC is set to endorse plans for its long-awaited World Test Championship at a meeting in New Zealand this week, it was reported on Monday. It seems that it will give fan more excited as it will give the re-birth to the test match. The sport's governing body has the dispute for years that a Test championship is needed to boost the five-day format's popularity as crowds and television viewers flock to the big-hitting Twenty20 version of the game. But power great effort over formats and fears that some nations will be disadvantaged have twice stymied efforts to launch a league structure since 2010.
A recent modernization designed to reverse the movement is the introduction of day-night Test matches, which moves playing sessions to more spectator-friendly hours. The idea of four-day Test matches has also been floated, although traditionalists oppose the move. The Herald reported that the ICC will also look at a major shake-up of one-day international fixtures at the Auckland meeting. It said a 13-nation ODI league was being considered, which would operate on a three-year cycle with results affecting World Cup qualification. Under the plans, the number of ODIs in a series would be capped at three, ending the lengthy five-match series that are currently part of the international fixture list.
