With sagging interest in Test cricket, the ICC is working at various ways to rejuvenate this format, perhaps by creating some form of a Test Championship League (TCL).
It is also looking into India's concerns over filing of individual 'whereabouts' under anti-doping measures which the country's cricketers have refused to sign as yet.
World cricket's governing body does not agree with the view that the Umpire Decision Review System has put pressure on the umpires or that the BCCI's IPL was weaning away players from their national commitments.
In an exclusive interview, ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat expressed confidence that the issue of Indian players' objections on WADA 'whereabouts' clause would be sorted out.
"We are trying to skin the cat differently," he said on the issue on which the Indian players have raised strong objections.
Recalling last year's experience in Mohali where crowds were sparse during the India-England Test match, he said the ICC has since attempted to form some sort of Championship model for Test cricket.
"If you really want to know who is the Test champion then you need better context by creating some form of a Test Championship League and we haven't got that. That's something that we are trying to achieve", he said.
"There are so many ideas all over the place", according to the International Cricket Council (ICC) Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat who said that a 5-member sub-committee was looking into the options to arrest the sagging interest in Test cricket.
Former South African wicketkeeper Dave Richardson, David Collier (England), N Srinivasan (India), James Sutherland (Australia) and Nishanta Ranatunga (Sri Lanka) were members of the committee that was formulating proposals on boosting Test cricket.
The ideas before the committee included 4-day matches proposed by ICC President David Morgan and day-night cricket which will require research, he said.
