#International cricket council teams series#
The most important series last four or five matches, while the less important ones last two to three matches. Ashes Test series in England were six-match affairs between 19, but Australia reverted to five matches in its home series from 1982–83.

Six-match series were common in the 1970s and early 1980s, with the last six-match series to date taking place in 1997–98 between the West Indies and England. Test series can last from two to six matches, but some tours consist of only a single Test. Tours may include Test, ODI and T20I matches, or just one or two of these formats. In a tour, one nation travels to another and plays warm-up matches, which may be first-class matches, against domestic teams such as county or state teams, a series of Test matches against the host nation, and either a series of One-Day (ODi) and T20 matches against the host nation or a tournament involving the host nation and another touring nation. Most Test, One-Day and Twenty20 matches take place in the form of "tours". Main page: Category:International cricket tours Outline
