Whilst i understand in theory and on paper england and India are seen as big draws interms of revenue in test cricket. Also that a while ago england and India was upgraded to a situation where test series played between sides would be long in length 4/5 test matches per series. The cricket between the two sides in general in recent times is one side. India been thrashed 4-0, 3-1 and already looking like lambs to slaughter here again. England faired no better in india last time either in getting one sided beat downs. No one wants to see 5-0, 4-0 series wins etc.. its boring and theres no justification on a cricket basis these sides should be playing such long test series. Overall in general accross the world aswell with so many teams struggling in foriegn conditions its time series were made 3 test maximium until quality and competativeness of cricket improves.
 
If we go by this then Pakistan shouldn't be allocated any tests in Aus since they haven't won there for over 20 years.
 
If one started applying this logic, most series would become a 2 Test affair. Australia, England, New Zealand become lambs to the slaughter in Asia as well.
 
The matches between the teams aren't the best and series tend to be one sided.

India also won their last test in Australia well over a decade ago and that was also when the series was already lost just like the recent SA test.

Pakistan should be demoted to two tests next time they are in Australia and maybe even to the smaller venues until they are more competative over there. I dont any series accross world has justification of more then 3 tests currently.

Pakistan hasnt even drawn a test match in Aus for sometime.
 
I am totally ok with Australia hosting us for 2 test series as our record there hasn't been any good whatsoever. Once we start drawing or winning those 2 test series can the Aussies increase and get us for their main summer outing.
