Promotion, Relegation A Must To Prevent Establishment Of 'entrenched Elite': Atherton On Two-tier System Debate
ICC Chairman Jay Shah: Former England captain Michael Atherton has expressed his perspective on the ongoing debate regarding the two-tier system in Test cricket and said that any proposed structure should facilitate movement between the tiers and prevent the establishment of an "entrenched elite."
Earlier it has been reported that England and Wales Cricket Board chief Richard Thompson and BCCI representatives will meet ICC Chairman Jay Shah later this month to discuss about a potential two-tier Test system starting in 2027.
If the two-tier Test structure becomes a reality, then Australia, England and India will be free from having to play Test cricket against many nations, and the three nations would be able to play against each other twice in every three years, instead of every four years, which is currently the case.
