Testing Times

England is lucky to be playing host to a Test series between the two top-ranked Test sides in the world - England & South Africa - which contain some of the finest performers of their generation. A spectacle such as this deserves a minimum of four Tests which is what we're asking for.

By reducing the one-day international series to 3 matches, the extra Test that a contest such as this deserves would be possible without adding too much extra cricket to an already packed international schedule.

In addition, we are asking that the one-off one-day international v Scotland, currently scheduled to take place amidst the South Africa Test series, be re-arranged until afterwards, where it would be more appropriate as a warm up for the ODI series.
