ICC to consider Test match-ups and men's event calendar through 2035
The ICC is meeting in Bali, Indonesia, for four days, with eight committees taking part.
Board members will propose World Test Championship match-ups for 2027-31, covering two cycles: 2027-29 and 2029-31.
They will also submit windows for major men's events from 2028 to 2035 for approval, setting out when those competitions could be held.
These are proposals, so the match-ups and event windows are not yet confirmed.
The meetings will also hear early findings from groups reviewing franchise league rules and ICC governance.
A task force focused on Afghan refugee women cricketers will present proposed next steps for a development programme.
The decisions and recommendations could shape how international cricket is scheduled and governed in the coming years.
The ICC will propose World Test Championship match-ups for the 2027–29 and 2029–31 cycles at board meetings in Indonesia.

Windows for established major men's ICC events from 2028 to 2035 will be submitted for approval.
