Radical plan may result in two England-Australia Ashes series every three years

ICC to discuss splitting 12 Test nations into two tiers
India’s support or otherwise for the initiative is key

England and Australia could play two Ashes series every three years from 2027 onwards under a radical two-division plan that is reportedly being considered for Test cricket.

According to the Melbourne Age, the chairs of Australia, England and India, plus Jay Shah, the new head of the International Cricket Council, are due to meet this month to discuss splitting the 12 Test nations into two divisions, allowing the “Big Three” countries to play their hugely lucrative series more often.
