England have failed to change the points system for the world Test championship this year, despite lobbying for the introduction of bonus points and more lenient over-rate penalties after “Bazball” fell short of qualifying for this year’s final at Lord’s. But world cricket chiefs have agreed to consider a raft of longer-term changes for the cricket system, with a working group of chief executives to examine two-division Test cricket, international calendar windows, the future of white-ball formats, including T10, and a proposal for a Saudi Arabia-backed global T20 league. The working group, which will include new Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg among others, is set to consider all options for after the end of the current Future Tours program in 2027, according to two sources speaking on condition of anonymity because negotiations are confidential. It is expected to report back to the International Cricket Council board within 12 months.
