9 team Test championship over two years.
Excellent news. Should mean every game is worth something.

Sutherland said less Tests and ODI matches would open the schedule for more T20 cricket, be it international or in series like the Big Bash League.
More 20/20 cricket to help diminish the quality of test cricket & fill the coffers of the cricket administrations. The almighty $$$$ wins again

At least if there is some points towards a ladder it provides some context.
I do agree that it’s still a privilege to play test cricket.
Looks like there will be less ODI cricket which is good. At the moment we play 5-7 odi series against India and England, max will be 3 which is good.
Likely means more T20s, but it should also mean more short test series against smaller teams. I reckon we will start playing 6 tests every summer
How awesome would it be if we squeezed in eight - maybe Bangladesh in a 2 test series too
