i didn't even realize that the source is just somebody's reddit post ?‍

So is this not real? haha

So is this not real? haha

as @ParwazHaiJunoon posted i think it's based on the old future tours programme but it's up in the air whether all those scheduled tours will actually count or if they're renegotiating

 

[NotMcKenzie]

It is also incidentally now the OP's avatar

 

[TheJediBrah]

(If true) smart of Australia to tank this cycle by getting all their Asian tours out of the way and giving them a chance in the next one

 

[Noumenon]

Pakistan's home fixtures look formidable. I feel they'd do well in away tours and capitulate at home. Forget the finals, I am not betting on them to finish in top four.

 

[hendrix]

This is cool.

Yeah it's uneven bug better than the last round and brings some context and prestige. Very good imo. Can be revised further in the future

India-14 points
Pakistan- 12
West Indies-12
England- 2

We have another three home Tests against New Zealand next summer. Presumably these will actually count for the first time.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah they do. And it will be funny if England nicks that 1-0 or something after losing the series this year. NZ will be fuming the earlier one did not count.

 

[Chewie]

why would we think the earlier one should count when it was held before the final of the previous cycle?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It wasn’t just that one. We had a series in New Zealand that didn’t count either.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

why would we think the earlier one should count when it was held before the final of the previous cycle?

And we'd already qualified for the final

 

[honestbharani]

I just meant it wud be funny if u won a series that did not count but lost the one that did count, that is all. Anyways I dont see any reason why NZ should lose in England but the new year is a new story.

 

[Burgey]

Can't see Afghanistan figuring at the business end of this cycle tbh

Won’t be as easy for us next year, the England we played this year was missing a few key players. I can see us crumbling now it finally counts haha.

 

[Bahnz]

NZ's cycle is tougher than last time. SA won't be easy beats in NZ (we've never beaten them in a test series), even if they should have few difficulties accounting for SL and Bangladesh. India will probably be a 0-2, England will be tougher with (presumably) Stokes and Archer back and Pakistan in Pakistan is hard to predict but it's certainly a more difficult assignment than Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka.

 

[CricAddict]

Yes, it is tougher for NZ this cycle. It is the easiest for Pakistan. The schedule could also probably have been devised looking at a Ind-Pak final at the end to fill the coffers.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I wonder if Pakistan will just miss out a place in the final due to that 1 wicket loss to the Windies.

I mean, in the test we won we subbed half the team

England simps like dobell dont get to slime in this narrative

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It looks like we might have clawed back some points today.
