Jay Shah is working on the idea of two-tier Test cricket if we are to believe on reports. According to a story by the Australian media outlet The Age<\/em>, Shah was leading to host additional high-profile Test series in the cricket calendar along with Cricket boards from India, Australia, and England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the story is to be believed, this action comes after the record-breaking attendance of spectators during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), that featured five Test matches between India and Australia. There were a total of 837,879 spectators in stadiums, which made the BGT the most-attended non-Ashes series in the history of Australian cricket. This season of BGT was the fourth highest attended series in Australian cricket history after the Ashes series in 1936-37, 2017-18, and 2946-47.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2-tier former and its working:<\/strong>
According to the two-tier system, the top teams in cricket today, including India, Australia, England, South Africa, and New Zealand, will play against each other more frequently.
Other teams such as Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Ireland, and Zimbabwe are not known for their skills in Test cricket, and would be assigned to the second division of the format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teams that have not had much success in recent times like Bangladesh and West Indies may fall under this category. Though the low-tier teams will only play within their division, but the top-tier clubs will face one another in this format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible teams in the structure:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st Division:<\/strong>
South Africa, Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Pakista<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd Division:<\/strong>
West Indies, Bangladesh, Ireland, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
