Former West Indies fast bowler Kenneth Benjamin has endorsed the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) proposed two-tier Test cricket system, calling it a long-overdue change that could benefit the sport, particularly for associate nations.
Benjamin’s opinion comes amid ongoing discussions about the potential restructuring, as he described the concept as crucial for the growth of cricket globally.
“I think it is better for a lot of the teams if they have a two-tier [system]. And, honestly, I know West Indies may feel it a bit if they’re pushed down in that, but I believe it is something that is overdue,” he stated.
According to reports, the proposed system would see the top Test teams compete against each other, while those in the lower half of the ICC rankings would contest the second tier.
Though CWI president Dr. Kishore Shallow, who is also a director with ICC, recently labelled news of the proposed change as a possible rumor, as nothing has been tabled, Benjamin believes a promotion-relegation mechanism would foster improvement if materialized.
