NEW DELHI: The ICC working team will probably be meeting the senior BCCI officers on Thursday to discuss one of the vital prevailing problems in global cricket together with the future of Tests.
The working team in ICC formulates policies after which takes comments of its stakeholders (member nations, sponsors).
BCCI acting president CK Khanna, acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary, treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhry and CEO Rahul Johri are expected to be briefed about the ICC working team's development within the meeting.
It is learnt that the discussions will probably be widely in keeping with demanding situations dealing with the game, particularly how to keep Test cricket alive, the techniques of crowd engagement and the all of a sudden growing acclaim for T20s.
After taking the comments from all the stakeholders, the working team then prepares a complete report
"Test cricket is the ultimate format and I am sure all the stakeholders will be working a way out to sustain the level of interest. I believe that all three formats can co-exist. I expect that suggestions given by the BCCI will be taken seriously," BCCI acting president CK Khanna stated.
Day/Night Test cricket is expected to be any other key issue. While it is now well-documented that acting secretary Choudhary was in favour of India taking part in pink ball Test against West Indies, one thing the Indian team's leader coach Ravi Shastri had to begin with agreed.
However it was learnt that Indian team control instructed Committee of Administrators (CoA) that it still calls for at least 18 months to get in a position for the five-day game below lighting fixtures.
The dwindling crowds in Tests have been a concern for ICC and the overall feeling is that only Day/Night Tests can save the structure.
There are various faculty of thoughts and one is to start Test suits around the globe on Thursdays.
The third and fourth days are at all times considered to be an important days and if it's on a weekend, then one can expect more footfalls. Obviously, there could be an atypical 'Boxing Day' Test, however normally, Thursday starts may turn out to be really useful.
Recently, former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum has stated that Test cricket might not be sustainable in the long run with the appearance of T20 leagues around the globe.
Trends have shown that young cricketers are in a position to make a choice club over country, freelancing in non-public T20 leagues.
During the hot ICC quarterly meeting in Kolkata, international body's leader government Dave Richardson stated that they would be chatting with the stake holders to find out if there could be a cap at the number of T20 leagues that one can take part in to handle the sanctity of global cricket.
