League Notes: Marylebone Cricket Club Throws Support Behind Five-Day Tests

10.5.2017

The Marylebone Cricket Club "has thrown its support behind" five-day Tests as it enters the debate over the future of the longest form of the game. Test cricket will be relaunched in '20 with a World Championship and the first four-day Test will take place in December when South Africa plays Zimbabwe. MCC CEO Guy Lavender confirmed the club will support the retention of five-day Tests. Lord's will be bidding to host two Test matches per year when the England & Wales Cricket Board invites grounds to tender in November for the next allocation of major matches (London TELEGRAPH, 10/3).

The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission will hire two more police investigators and "increase spending on drug testing." It coincides with QRIC's first prosecution under new match-fixing laws "listed to go ahead in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court on Wednesday" (AAP, 10/4).
