PBN Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Schedule has 5 Tests, 3 ODIs, and 3 T20s With the next WC in England, it would have been ideal to have atleast a 5 match ODI series to the players some experience playing in England. Would be ideal to test the middle order. sandeep and Unstable Joe 2 Link to comment

Only few rare series might take place as 5 match series but most in future would be only 3 match ODI series unless they have been pre approved by ICC from the older Future tour program(FTP). As much as people were wanting 3 matches earlier giving reasons that its boring to have a 5 match or 7 match odi series, they fail to realize that it also means that management and captains would not have the luxury of trying different players as 3 match series is really short for teams to experiement new guys easily.

Should have been same for sa tour I am very happy that we have a 5-test series in England and 4-test series in Australia. We may have won if we had a 5-test series in SA. Nothing better than 2 strong test teams fighting it out in a long test series ! The contests are riveting ! King Tendulkar 1 Link to comment

India will have to drop to our level to make that a competitive series. Link to comment
