Bilateral series outside iconic ones like the Ashes and big-ticket tours involving India could be endangered in the future if they are not properly nurtured and marketed. The alert has come from ICC chief executive David Richardson, who says the success of domestic Twenty20 leagues like the IPL, Big Bash and the growing Caribbean Premier League have made them more attractive to cricket fans and broadcasters.
To arrest the decline of bilateral series, cricket's administrators are discussing the creation of qualifying leagues for both Test and ODI cricket as a possible solution.
