Asked whether the ICC would consider a two-tier structure for Tests, Morgan said such a system was already in place. "To some extent, that happens currently, doesn't it? Because in a six-year cycle, some nations play each other home-and-away every four years as opposed to six years. They play five-match Test match series as opposed to three-match Test series. So there already is an element of stronger teams playing each other more frequently," he said. Morgan did not foresee any such threat to one-day cricket, which he said was the cash-provider for the other formats. "The 50-overs game has been the cash-provider for other forms of cricket over a long period of time and I believe there is a continuing future for 50-over cricket. We have introduced the batting powerplays and I believe that is a quite bold change and that would definitely add interest to

the game," he said.

The ever-increasing cricket has raised concerns about the players' fitness and whether they can cope with playing almost non-stop through the year. Morgan said it was upto the member boards to decide the quantity of matches. "It's not ICC which determines the volume of cricket, member boards do. But it's important that players have time to practise, to rest and to recharge their batteries," he said.

Players' behaviour has also become a concern with some ugly on-field spats in the past few years but Morgan insisted that a bit of banter doesn't harm anyone. "I think players behaviour in the Twenty20 World Cup was fantastic. The games were played in wonderful spirit. I believe that cricketers at the highest level always want to have conversation and I don't see any harm in that. "But for us, spirit of cricket is very important. I think the players are increasingly more and more aware of the need to play the game in the right spirit," he said. "I also believe the referral system that is being rolled out will improve player behaviour," he added.
