I read something about closer ties and part of that meaning we will now have 10 tests against them in the next 7 years. That is bugger all! Nothing to brag about there, I'd hate to think how few tests we'd have if we didn't have 'closer ties' (whatever that means).
Meanwhile they said we'd have something like 40 ODIs against them in the same period. Sigh. Cricket is going down hill fast.
Remember, that 10 tests in 7 years includes the 5 this summer that were already scheduled. So what we have 'negotiated' is 5 tests in 6 years. If you inlcude the gap between those tests in 2021 and the NEXT lot, it will optimistically be 5 tests in 8 years, but could possibly be 5 tests in 10 years.
Time to sign up to that rebel league for the big bucks...might as well get what you can if you are a player in this hypocrisy go around...
