ICC Considers More Multilateral Series; BCCI Seeks Balanced Future Tours Schedule
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering reintroducing more multilateral tournaments like tri-series and quadrangular events to boost fan interest and financial returns, as bilateral matches lose appeal. Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) plans to advocate for a more balanced Future Tours Programme (FTP) that allows Indian players adequate rest and acclimatisation before major overseas tours to South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia. These scheduling changes aim to address the challenges of a congested cricket calendar.
