England Set To Revive Five-Test Series Beyond Ashes And India: Report
Wales Cricket Board: England are planning to re-introduce a five-match Test series against teams beyond Australia and India, with Pakistan and South Africa emerging as the frontrunners for extended battles. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) sees this as a crucial step in re-invigorating global interest in Test cricket, aiming to revive the format’s ability to develop long, gripping narratives over multiple matches.
According to a report in The Telegraph, the first such series could take place in the summer of 2028, a year sandwiched between England’s Ashes showdown with Australia and their marquee home series against India.
For decades, five-Test series were a staple of England’s summers, not just against Australia but also against teams like South Africa, Pakistan, and the West Indies.
