    What's the story

    With the advent of Twenty20 leagues around the world, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is worried about the impact these tournaments would have on Test cricket.

    According to a report in The Guardian, the ICC is set to discuss a radical proposal to protect the longest format in its upcoming meeting in April.

    Here's more about it!

    Information

    When and where is the ICC meet?

    The ICC is set to hold its annual meeting in Kolkata in the month of April. The dates of the meeting are April 22-26 . It would coincide with IPL, which begins on April 7. Chief Executives of all full-member boards would attend the meet.

    A look at the suggestions planned

    Several present and former players have started participating in T20 leagues.

    One suggestion, as per the report, states that participation of players under the age of 32 will be restricted to three T20 leagues per year.

    From 2023 onwards, a six-month period will be locked for international cricket.

    A cap could also be laid on participation of overseas players in each T20 league.

    Information

    The big worry for ICC

    The ICC is worried by the fact that several players are prioritising T20 leagues over international cricket, especially the Test format. The West Indies Cricket Board has been hit the worst, where the star players are continuously choosing T20 leagues over international cricket.

    Information

    What does the ICC seek through the proposal?

    The ICC wants to strike a balance in the world cricket order by tackling the issue of players' availability. Cricket teams are facing competition from these T20 leagues and ICC wants to ensure that the traditional formats of the game don't die a gruesome death.
