This is not such a bad idea but it is probably spoiled by the two tier notion. Having two tiers is probably counter productive and awkward given their are only 10 teams. Why not just have a simple league system of ten teams that play home and away with some sort of finals at the end of the year? I agree that this may add meaning to the hodgepodge cash cow driven scheduling we have now. Basically, as I understand it, you are suggesting a league based system for test cricket.

Its time this idea be tossed out and instead of working out ways to get rid of the weaker sides work on development to get all ten nations up to a competiitive level. That will regenerate interest in the game again. I agree fully.

The second tiered teams can't afford that segregation and cricket can't afford to be made up predominantly of 5 teams. You'll make the rich richer and the poor bankrupt.
