Shane Warne, the master leg breaker, says time is ripe for ICC to mull about bringing some ground-breaking changes to the structure of International Test Cricket.
According to Warne, there is a massive gap between the top four or five-ranked Test teams and the bottom three or four.
He goes to state.. “I reckon we need a two-tier system for Test cricket with a grand final for the top two sides in a neutral venue in a one-off Test.”
He also pushes for a relegation system by which 5th team in the top tier will be relegated to the 2nd tier and top team in the 2nd tier will be promoted to the 1st tier. This system is currently in use in many of the professional soccer leagues throughout the world.
He also expressed concern about Shane Watson’s future as an opener. According to the spinster, Watson is a natural middle order bat and said Michael Hussey will be much more suited as opening bat for the Aussies.
