That looks to be the case but BCCI shouldn't be so money minded, already bahut $$$ hai.

Away test dont get BCCI any money. So, please it is not a case of being money minded.  BCCI only earns money through home series and ICC tourneys.

Can't disagree with anything here although I'd say that BCCI has sort of devalued the SA contests by making it a 3 Test series. The series with RSA have been crying out for 4 Tests ever since the epic 2010-11 tour. We ruined the 2013 tour by restricting it to 2 Tests and even the latest tour could have easily had 4 Tests including the Boxing Day Test but the BCCI shat on it again. With Australia regressing this was the ideal time to give a certain "push" to the India-SA rivalry but I think we have missed the bus. 

as I said CSA earn more money through LOIs. Tests were not their priority.  BCCI earn nothing when touring other countries.

But broadcasters have a say and BCCI earns money through them right?

Indian tours to NZ:

 

2002: 2 tests

2009: 3 tests

2014: 2 tests

2020: 2 tests

 

Kya chal raha hai yahaan? 9 tests in 2 full decades...unpardonable !!!!

 

Wish we had scheduled more tests against a steadily improving WI, at least in their territory to make the contest more even. Also the historical H2H needs some correction, even now too lopsided in their favor. 

I beleive that has to do with Indian timings and I remember this was discussed previously on ICF as well

You want more or none?

Then how come we had 3 and 4 test series against a much weaker WI all these years? When a handful of teams play this sport we can't afford to be so choosy.

Is the Zimbabwe series (home...1 test, 3 ODIs) in March on? Or has IPL ensured its death?

[Ankit_sharma03]

Just 2 test in Windies

And only 2 tests in NZ next year , a tour we have waited for so eagerly...previous series being in 2014 and that too a 2 test joke. 

[Tibarn]

One can always just invite WI or SL for a home series in 2020 during a random opening to get the Test number up that year, just apply cash incentives. 

Edited February 2, 2019 by Tibarn

[Gollum]

Very few tests the coming 18 months 

 

Sick of white ball nonsense.

[Gollum]

Both the away series in WI and NZ should be min 3 tests. WI is now a serious (and exciting with change in nature of pitches !!!!) team at home and NZ has always been a difficult opponent for us. 2 test series is a cruel joke, 2 days rain and it will become a solitary test

Updated OP.

 

No Zim series in the near future, nothing confirmed yet, latest updates say 'postponed'.

 

SL 3 match T20 home series in Jan 2020.

 

Nature of 2021 ICC event in India unclear but will be T20 format. 

 

From now on, 30+ T20s (incl next year's Asia Cup) before 2020 WT20.

People would be bored to death and T20WC will lose all relevance.

Absolutely hate the idea of 5 T20's in a bilateral. I mean what the hell? We need to play practice matches against the best team in Plunkett Shield . We need points for the WTC. Also why are we playing ODIs against WI at home and away against NZ when we did that last season. Atrocious scheduling. Expect more injuries, fatigue etc. After all nobody is going to skip IPL either. 

 

Lol. Just noticed that we are touring England for 5 tests in 2021. Why are we touring England so often? We just toured there last year.

out of curiosity, is ICC expecting teams to go play at PAK(home) series? Players have a say in this matter or nah?

Well atleast we didn't need the 3 ODIs then. It's only a 2 match series and unless we have 2 practice games , we might get blown away by Boult and co.
