World Test C'ship dates announced
The International Cricket Council (ICC) unveiled details of a revamped match schedule on Wednesday which will underpin its inaugural World Test Championship starting next year.
The Championship, involving the nine top-ranked Test nations competing in a league, will take place between July 15, 2019 to April 30, 2021.
The revamped Future Tours Programme (FTP), starting with the Ashes series in England next year, will see teams play three home and away series over a two-year cycle. The top two teams will then progress to a June 2021 final.
