Coin toss to be removed from ICC Test Championship?

by May 17th, 2018

Removing the coin toss from Test Championship matches will be one of the issues up for discussion at an ICC Cricket committee meeting later this month.

The meeting in Mumbai on May 28 and 29, which has 12 items on the agenda, could see an official proposal put forward to ICC Chief executives, most likely to be rubber-stamped at their annual general meeting in Dublin in June.

Any move to remove the toss, which would reportedly see the away team simply given the choice to bat or bowl first, would not quite follow the change made in county championship games in England two summers ago, where visiting teams are given the chance to bowl first or opt for a traditional toss.

It is understood that any change to the toss will only apply to test championship games when they get underway in 2019.
