A Format For The World Test Championship

The World Test Championship should be an 8-team affair. The top eight teams of the world should participate in that. Aus, SA, Eng, NZ, India, Pak, SL & WI. The preliminary round of the tournament should be an all-play-all stuff with each of the teams playing each of the other teams once. Then the top teams from there should go to the semi-finals: 1 vs 4 & 2 vs 3. Also, the World Test Championship should be played once every four years at the distance of 2 years from the One-Day World Cups.

IPL Should Be A One Round Tournament

IPL should be a one round tournament. It is a very lengthy programme. The two rounds of all play all matches are too much and make it a boring substance. The interest of the viewer is intact till the first half of the tournament but it dips after the middle part because the number of matches make it monotonous. Each team plays each of the other team twice. This is not needed, One round is enough. Then the top four teams should go to the semi-finals.
