The International Cricket council is meeting this month to discuss the controversial proposal to reduce the duration of test matches from five days to four. Many players, past and present, have spoken out against the plan. While others say, it does make commercial sense and allows players more time to rest. Adam wild has been looking at the pros and cons of this proposal. Well, four day test matches arent a new argument or indeed a new idea. We did used to have all sorts of different length tests, even timeless test, south africa against england in 1939 went on for 12 days can you believe it before they had a winner. The five day test has only been the standard since 1979. A couple of years ago you may remember south africa played zimbabwe in an officially sanctioned four day test are not the best advert, admittedly, because it was over within two days but that really fired the starting pistol on this current debate. Now, last year, england played ireland in a four day test at lords, very entertaining but it ended in three days. Those matches have fuelled this ongoing argument. Are four day test the way forward . Thats what the icc, led by this man, manu sony, are going to discuss later this month. Just proposals at the moment but theres a sense this is a very real prospect from 2023 onwards. So what is driving this . The answer, you wont be surprised to hear, is primarily money. Theres been a steady decline over the last few decades of test matches actually going to a fifth day, but as we saw just this week in cape town, my word, they can be thrilling when they do it is worth noting the last ten ashes test test between england and australia have all gone to a fifth day, but they are costly when they dont go the distance and that can be very expensive for the venues, who, of course, still have to pay all the costs without the revenue. Most crucially, playing fewer days would free up more time on the calendar. 0ne fewer days would free up more time on the calendar. One of the key talking points would be what you do with that extra time. If players get more rest, thats one thing, but more rest, thats one thing, but more likely, time would be used to play more white ball cricket, more lucrative and popular increasingly with audiences, especially in india, which, as we know, is the driving force of the world game. Theres a sense test cricket needs to do something more commercially appealing. Quicker games alongside things like day night games are a way to do that. Those are some of the key reasons behind the idea. The reaction this week as has been to say the least mixed in. Lets start with the governing bodies, the ecb, who run the game in england, say Cricket South Africa Even Stronger have said this week it is there lots of high profiles players are speaking out this week, the likes of sachin tendulkar, ben stokes, ricky ponting, all against reducing the length of tests. Virat kohli, the indian captain, has also given his views this week and given indias and Marketing Power within the game his views are very important. When you speak of three day tests, where do you end . Then you talk of test cricket disappearing. I dont endorse that at all, i dont think it is fairto endorse that at all, i dont think it is fair to the purest format of the game, how cricket started initially. Five day test matches was the highest of tests you could have at the international level. According to me, it should not be altered. As you can see, it is a very hotly debated subject. Hugely complex one but one im certain well be dominating cricket conversations over the coming weeks. Adam wild reporting there. The west indies have just beaten ireland adam wild reporting there. The west indies havejust beaten ireland in the Second One Day International in barbados to clinch the series with one game to spare. Ireland batted first after winning the toss.

But from me, katie shanahan, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. Hello there. It looks dry, with sunshine across much of the country on friday. We have seen some heavier rain for central and Eastern England earlier on, but thats continuing to push away, together with that weather front. Before this one arrives in from the atlantic, that ridge of High Pressure means skies are clearing. It will be chilly start to friday, noticeably colder than weve seen it will be a chilly start to friday, noticeably colder than weve seen for a while across much of england and wales, with a frost more likely further north. But some sunshine to start the day. One or two early showers in western parts of wales, into western scotland, maybe into east anglia, but those wont last long, and well see plenty of sunshine. It will tend to cloud over more in the north west as the winds pick up through the day, that rain holding off until hopefully after dark. Ahead of that 6 9 degrees cooler than of late in southern england and wales but a pleasant day in the sunshine. As we head into the night, we see that weather front making further inroads into scotland and northern ireland, bringing with it some outbreaks of rain. At the same time, the winds will pick up in many areas and we will draw our air all the way from the azores again, so turning milder, i think, for the start of the weekend. Windy, strong to maybe gale force winds. Still rain in scotland, northern ireland, maybe cumbria. Wettest over the hills, drier to the east of high ground. Eastern parts of england seeing the best of the sunshine here. Strong and gusty winds quite widely, perhaps easing off in the north west later on as the rain starts to clear and temperatures drop away. Ahead of that, were looking at 11 13 degrees. Very mild once again. Now, that weather front will eventually take that rain across the whole of the country on saturday night, and then well introduce this showery airstream coming in from the atlantic, and that will bring in with it some cooler air as well. Not too cold to start the second half of the weekend because therell be a fair bit of around. Weve still got temperatures perhaps in double figures across the south east. Colder air in scotland certainly. Weve still rain to clear from south Eastern England first thing on sunday, and then a fair bit of and showers coming in, even pushing eastwards across england and wales. Thats the morning. In the afternoon, most of those have gone. The showers restricted more towards the north west of scotland, where it is quite a bit colder. Temperatures 5 6 again and potentially double figures in the south east in the sunshine. As we head into next week, well, weve still got a strong jetstream pushing right away across the atlantic, picking up these areas of low pressure. You can see a lot of isobars on the chart as well. It is going to windy still into next week, which means its likely to be mild, although there will be rain at times. Welcome to bbc news, im mike embley.
