One day cricket is set for its biggest overhaul as the International Cricket Council proposes a new league of 13 nations with the top two teams playing off in a final.

The plans, which will be discussed at the ICC’s annual general meeting later this month, will come into force from 2019 and are aimed at finally giving context to bilateral tours.

It is proposed teams will play a three-match series, either home or away, against every other country, amounting to 36 ODIs each over a three-year basis.
