Quote: The ICC will take a further step towards ensuring the World Twenty20 returns in 2018 when senior figures meet with Star Sports later today. South Africa is believed to be the preferred option to host the 2018 WT20, which could place pressure on the South African government to review its recent decision to ban CSA from bidding to host world events for a year because of failing to meet transformation guidelines.
ICC members are overwhelmingly behind the idea to restore the WT20 to every two years, leaving the main question whether Star Sports agree to buy two extra WT20 tournaments - in 2018 and 2022 - in addition to the 2020 tournament already agreed during the current rights cycle. The ICC is also considering expanding the Super 10s to include two teams, which would go some way towards assuaging Associates who complained of being excluded during this year's WT20.

I am a fan of increasing the Super 10s to 12 teams, but afraid of the sheer amount of T20 cricket that would be played. There are domestic T20 tournaments taking place seemingly every month of the year as it is. I'd rather watch a World Cup over a domestic tournament, but there is no way the domestic tournaments are going to be reduced or eliminated any time soon. My biggest concern is how this would impact Test matches.
