It has been like that for a while. Only difference it seems now is the fact that they're making it more obvious. Hence only these 3 countries have the luxury to have 4-5 Test match series. Even SA who has been #1 for a while got bossed by BCCI in to a 2 Test match series and now Australia are bossing Pakistan to make their Test series a 2 Test match series instead of 3.
Indeed it's very sad. Instead of trying to globalize the game, they just want cricket for themselves. WIth this kind of mindset, cricket will continue to fall behind the likes of soccer, basketball, baseball, rugby etc. in terms of popularity and diversity
