Karachi:
Pakistan has decided to oppose the monopoly of major countries in Test cricket.
Initial interaction between top officials said that everyone has equal rights on sports, unless they play with rivals, how will small teams improve their performance? The board hopes that other nations will support it in voting.
On the other hand, according to an official, PCB is not accusing them of not giving importance to testing cricket, next year the team will play 9 Test matches, which will give an opportunity to improve the ranking.
It should be remembered that the International Cricket Council has established an 8 -Member Working Group under Sanjung Gupta to consider the 2 -level Test cricket system in the past, including English cricket chief Richard Gold and Cricket Australia chief Tod Greenberg, recommended by the end of this year.
The possibility of the proposed change will be implemented in the next World Testing Championship cycle from 2027 to 2029, the current 9 teams will be converted into a division of 6.6, which will require a small majority of growth and decline to two -two -in -law of ICC members.
Currently, Australia, South Africa, England, India, New Zealand and Sri Lanka currently hold the first 6 positions of the test ranking, thus they can join the first division, number 7 in Pakistan and the number 7 in West Indies, Bangladesh, Ireland, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.
PCB has decided to oppose 2 -digit Test cricket, sources said that in the initial talks between top officials, it was said that cricket is not only a few major nations, but not all equal rights, small teams will get an opportunity to improve their performance until the difficult rivals play?
The board hopes that when voting in this regard, other nations will support it, an official said that we are not only thinking about ourselves, but other, Pakistan team is still in seventh place, but next year it will have to play enough Test cricket.
We will be safe in the ranking, but what will happen to Bangladesh and West Indies? How will this team improve by playing? This is why it has been decided that we will strongly oppose this proposal.
It should be remembered that only 5 trials of Pakistan have been fixed this year, of which Cape Town was defeated against South Africa, while the West Indies 2 Test Home Series was 1–1, now there will be 2 Tests with South Africa in October, November.
