But, the follower of classic format of the game will have some more exciting time ahead as International Cricket Council is going to host a Test Championship from the next month. ICC’s attempt of reviving the popularity of Test match and spreading its horizon will not clash as the three Test playing nations- Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Ireland- will not stop playing the longest format despite being omitted from the Test Championship. For example, England will play two matches in New Zealand this November, but that series will have no bearing to the World Championship. Interestingly, Bangladesh’s campaign will be confined in Asia as they will play all their away series against Asian sides while host their three home series against non-Asian sides. The Tigers will start their campaign through a two-match away series against India in November.
