INDIA to oppose two-tier Test

In the backdrop of its recent but sustained belief that the financial value of bilateral series between full member boards has been fast diminishing, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has put the idea of a two-tier Test structure on the agenda for its meeting in Dubai. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), along with five other Test playing nations are likely to reject the proposal.

On Tuesday and Wednesday (September 6 & 7), the ICC will convene a special meeting at its headquarters to continue the discussions that took place at its Annual General Meeting in Edinburgh this July.
