Examine the pros and cons of a Conference system. - ketchim - 12-07-2016
The fact is that the international game, 140 years old next March
and under siege as never before from the domestic product, has no choice
but to expand, thereby encouraging more people to take up the game
and aim for the pinnacle.

The conference system makes more sense than a hierarchical one
because it would oblige the senior nations to play Afghanistan and Ireland,
even if that only amounts to one Test every four years.

The trickiest element of a conference structure in a global cricketing context is the
attendant baggage.
Since India and Pakistan refuse to play each other for political reasons -
and even if there were inter-conference matches, as happens in the US
- they would have to be allocated to separate leagues,
unless the concept of playing on neutral ground is embraced.
