England played home/away series vs Bnagladesh recently,we haven't played a test vs Bangladesh for 10 years,remember Jason Gillespie,Australia and Zimbabwe its been longer,we haven't played a one dayer for 10 years.Dunno how ICC allows us to cancel all the time..

2014/2015 for South Africa lacks a lot.

Actually good the Sri Lankan tests were moved.

The ICC has no power over this. It's between the boards to arrange bilateral series.

The FTP is just another ICC thing that exists but the boards can just ignore it whenever they like.

If the FTP instigated a minimum number of Tests, rather than tours, in each nation for each nation then do we think

1) It might help get rid of rubbishy 2/3-test series
2) Boards might pay attention to it

The problem is that boards have decided that it's a poor revenue generator. Sri Lanka are playing jack all tests because of how dire their finances are right now, and it would be tough to impose on them.

I think they need to come up with a better way of selling test cricket to both the public and the boards.

We know that it can be an excellent revenue generator when you bring the fans into it.

Problem with Srilanka is the board,it replaces test series with one day series and IPL,the real reason they are only playing 4 tests this year.

A possible 5-0 defeat would make a dent in England's rating. Though it can be rectified by the time the now threatened Test World CUp comes around.
