    MUMBAI: The International cricket Council (ICC) executive board has confirmed their preference to host an ICC Test Championship in 2013.

    But at the same time it has recognised the significant commercial challenge in trying to replace the Champions Trophy. Without the support and consent of their broadcast partner ESPN Star Sports, the financial implications on the Members and the development of the game would be significant.

    The ICC Executive Board held its fourth and final scheduled meeting of the year at the ICC headquarters in Dubai yesterday.

    ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat said, ?It would be unfortunate if the Test Championship is delayed to 2017 but the board needs to balance several objectives."

    Lorgat has also been quoted in media reports saying that a
    championship format in which India might miss out on taking part was also a consideration for the executive board. India is in third spot in the Test rankings, having lost the top spot after the thrashing in England.

    The ICC will need to have a meeting with ESS before taking a decision.

    Meanwhile, in accordance with the current constitutional requirements.
