Dubai: International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Haroon Logart has ruled out the possibility of organising an ICC World Test championship until 2017.
He said this while talking to media during the second ODI played here between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
“At the last [ICC] board meeting we decided the first opportunity to play the Test Championship is 2017. I am disappointed it is not going to take place sooner but it is a reality of the commitments we have already got through to 2015.”, he said
He further said that “I am afraid that’s no longer going to happen in 2013”.
Earlier, there was a plan to have such a championship from 2013, which would match the top four teams in 2013 instead of the 50-over ICC Champions Trophy, which is scheduled for England.
Logart said the delay was due to prior ICC commitments.
