I would've thought a 7/5 Test series rather than a 9/3 one would be more fair, and give the three at the bottom greater chances to grow while not enduring too many floggings. (Edit: Basically what Cobbler posted while I was typing, but with Sri Lanka in the top division. They'd demolish those other five and be starved of quality competition.)
But it is wonderful to see some meaningful attempts to grow the game. We should've had this 15 years ago, but I fear we've lost Kenya and the Netherlands. Let's hope some more effort goes into making the likes of Scotland, Oman, Nepal, and Hong Kong competitive.
