The next cycle sees the introduction of the World Test Championship and the ODI and T20 Champions Cup.
World Test Championship and T20 Champions Cup have drawn criticism from different cricketing boards because of the compact cricketing calendar.
ICC has proposed World Test Championship in the years 2025, 2027, 2029, and 2031. Taking into account the number of T20 leagues, there will be little time available for any bilateral series. With 48 matches, T20 Champions Cup will be another World Cup in size.
On the other hand, the ODI Champions Cup will be an event similar in size to the Champions Trophy consisting of 6 teams and 16 matches.
Moreover, ICC has also proposed women’s ODI and T20 Champions Cup in 2023, 2027 and 2024, 2028 respectively. Both events will see 6 teams competing in 16 matches.
