The national team, known as the Chevrons, along with Afghanistan and Ireland, had been excluded from the current and previous championship editions. A proposal to create a two-tier system for Test-playing nations was reportedly abandoned, paving the way for all twelve full member nations to compete in a single division. Plans also indicate that all participating teams will be required to play a minimum number of Test matches, though the specific number remains undetermined. A significant challenge for smaller nations like Zimbabwe, however, is the lack of additional funding for hosting these matches. The International Cricket Council board is anticipated to discuss these matters in its meetings next year. [/QUOTE]
