ICC has been discussing the same with the other board members of the committee to make the WTC expansion happen. Apart from that, they are also in discussion with the next future tours programme (FTP), where they planned to organise a World Club Championship. However, it was rejected as the ‘Big Three’, India, Australia and England refused to play.
"I think that's what will happen for the next two years. I think for the next iteration [of the WTC], I can understand why it is that number because they want to give every Test nation the opportunity," he told reporters in Durban ahead of Australia's opening Test against South Africa (as quoted by Cricinfo). "But, ultimately, countries are going to have to make hard decisions themselves because if revenues don't continue to come in from the ICC at the levels that we've enjoyed, or they can't generate their own FTP arrangements, then ultimately any business, ours is the same, you can't continue to distribute more than you earn every year. That's where global cricket finds itself in some parts."
Todd Greenberg cites problems over WTC expansion
"It wasn't very popular when I said that [about Test cricket], but I still say it's a statement of fact that over time it's getting more and more difficult for countries to play Test cricket because it is so expensive," Todd Greenberg said.
Cricket West Indies CEO Chris Dehring recently stated that their recent home season, which included Test matches against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, and a tour by New Zealand for white-ball matches, was "like death, destruction, and Armageddon" due to a lack of revenue from television rights.
"We would love to host South Africa for a five-Test series": Todd Greenberg on SA vs AUS Test series
Todd Greenberg stated that he wanted a five-match Test series against the South Africa side. But with the busy schedule, it has been tough to organise the same. He feels that every cricket board is protecting their windows.
"So that's why it's difficult. But we're in constant conversations with them. I'll have conversations while I'm here with them. I think South Africa are a really strong Test-playing country despite their commercial and financial challenges. We'd like to see them continue to play Test cricket. We'd love to host them."
