This would be good. Basically they are planning to make 2 groups.. 5 teams each.

1st tier should be
South Africa
India
Australia
England
Pakistan

Tier 2
Sri Lanka
New Zealand
West Indies
Bangladesh
Zimbabwe

This will be very good for our cricket and will mean more frequent faceoffs between the other 4 teams. For next 5 years... sounds like a plan. But if they decide to include Afghanistan and Ireland and than bump up no.6 to Tier 1, than not so good as we will probably be left to face New Zealand, West Indies Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan for the majority.

I think every year, the winner of the intercontinental cup should be allowed to play tier 2. It doesnt make sense to allow 2 new test nations at once but allowing 1 team makes sense. Also the worst performer of Tier 2 should be relegated to play the intercontinental or Tier 3.
