Moss
International Captain
Yeah the calendar is the way it is for a good reason, just that (to me at least) it dilutes the standing of the T20 WC as the biggest event in the sport. I wish they'd show some imagination and find other ways of getting international games in there - for example, the two teams which tour India for tests during the annual season could play a T20 tri-series across Indian venues, similar to how the Australian ODI tri-series was an annual event back in the day (and if the BCCI really wants to, they can market anything).Once again the reason is money . See how much have Star Sports Paid to ICC for next 4 years or 8 years Cycle. There is a clause in that Contract there would be guaranteed 1 ICC event every year with India matches at favourable time slot for viewers preferably Sunday . ICC have no option but to hold T20 WC every 2 years .
Already Star Sports are unhappy after last year T20 WC
Would love for them to think beyond the obligatory IND-PAK tournament game which gets eyeballs but adds nothing to the rivalry these days.
