8 regular Test playing nations - 4 each in Group A and Group B
India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, England and West Indies.
2 more teams qualify on preliminary tournament and one joins Group A, other joins Group B.
In group matches each team will play the other 4 teams, 2 times instead of only once as is done present. Two teams in each group will qualify for Semi Finals.
The Semi Finals and Finals will be best of 3 format.
If they implement this format, the element of luck will be negligible and will ensure the best team will be the Champions. The present format is really bad with 7 teams each and 4 teams qualifying for single match knock out format.
awesome format...excellent suggestion then every match will be interesting to watch... and pak vs india one match will be guranteed no matter what the consequence are ...
Thanks Sada - you have shown good cricketing knowledge by understanding why it would be a better format. it would have been nice if both of us had a say
