Test cricket is at a crossroads, facing challenges like mismatched contests, financial strain, and dwindling competitiveness. In light of these issues, a two-tier system with promotion, relegation, and centralized revenue could be the solution to revive the format. This system would provide top teams with fierce contests, ensuring high-quality matches and maintaining fan interest. Simultaneously, it would nurture emerging nations, offering them opportunities to develop and grow in the world of Test cricket. By implementing a two-tier World Test Championship (WTC), cricket can safeguard its longest and most prestigious format, securing its future for generations to come.
