Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh believes that if star quick Jasprit Bumrah had not taken part in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India would have suffered a 5-0 series defeat instead of a 3-1 humbling by Australia.

In a groundbreaking move that could reshape the future of Test cricket, the International Cricket Council (ICC), along with the cricket boards of India, Australia, and England, is exploring the introduction of a two-tier Test system aimed at increasing competitive matches between these cricketing powerhouses.

This potential shift, reported by The Age, will be discussed in detail at a forthcoming meeting between ICC chairman Jay Shah, Cricket Australia chair Mike Baird, and England's Richard Thompson later this month.

The proposed two-tier system, if implemented, would not take effect until after the conclusion of the current Future Tours Program in 2027, allowing ample time for strategising and planning.

A BCCI official noted that the concept had been floated back in 2016 but had not gained traction, with concerns about diminishing revenue and opportunities for smaller cricketing nations such as Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

These nations expressed fears that a divided system could limit their chances to compete against top teams.
