It is not the most perfect of formats, as critics have been at some pains to
point out. But it is a start -- and the single biggest point in its favour
is that it takes international schedules out of the realm of ad-hocism.
Thus, in the past, an England, say, would play Australia five times a year
and Sri Lanka maybe once in five years. An India, meanwhile, would play
twice as many one dayers as anyone else, and then try and fit in a Test if
nothing more lucrative beckoned.
That stops. With the introduction of the World Test Championships, the ICC
takes upon itself the onus of drawing up international cricketing schedules.
And immediately, it brings about a situation whereby each of the recognised
Test nations mandatorily plays all others, both at home and away, at least
twice in ten years.
So who is playing who, and when? How many times will India play Australia,
say, over the next ten years? What is India's Test schedule like for next
year?
Questions, questions -- and an interactive calendar that gives you all the
answers.
Use, and enjoy.
