With new experimentation, cricket will be benefited
Optimistic cricket pundits, fans and Test cricket lovers will give a thumbs up to the two-tier format as it will improve the game as it has been played; as change is imminent and conventional methods have kept on evolving with new experiments like the DRS system, snick-o-meter, hawk eye (ball tracking) method….thanks largely to technology that started with ‘third umpire’ decision.
Just the way ‘pink ball’ D/N Tests are getting acceptance, it is a matter of time that this concept will also gain popularity among the Test playing nations.
And perhaps, the old-order will be preserved better, like The Ashes (as mostly both Australia and England are expected not to drop below top 5) or the India-Pakistan rivalry (where Pakistan will try not to drop below top 5 if at all the arch-rivals agree to play).
