I've been offering this to friends for thought.
Every international tour consists of the following :
3 Test matches
2 ODI's
1 T20
Max 15 players on the tour.
Test matches 4 points for a win, 1 for a draw, ODI's 2 points for a win, T20 1 point for a win.
So 17 points available with one Test win being worth the same as the two ODI's.
You could win one Test (4), draw 2 (2) lose both one dayers (0) and win the T20 (1) and get 7 points. The opposition would have got 2 draws (2), 2 ODI's (4) and no T20 points for 6 point. Meaning they won two matches ( 2 x ODI ) and you won two matches ( One Test T20 ) but the weight of points for the Test mean you win the series.
Teams could earn points over a 12 month ( or 24 month ) period to be named the best cricketing nation of the year(s) or a table just rolls with the top nation.. With tours being as short as this you could have two nations come and go each summer. Would mean you play 4 series per year.
BUT it will never happen as all the boards who control the game are only looking after themselves.

The one thing I would definitely do if the ICC put me in charge is get rid of two or four test series.
It shits the living daylights out of me that we're playing four tests in India. Four. Because three tests clearly wouldn't be enough yet five would be way too many.
You wouldn't have best of four sets in tennis, or four judges hearing a court case, etc., so why have a best-of-four test series? I'd much rather three than four. Three against the lesser nations and five against England, India, Seth Efrica etc.
Four &%$@ing tests. Four!
