Pakistan had played a total number of (guaranteed) 53 Tests and 117 ODI’s.
England had played a total number of (guaranteed) 75 Tests and 139 ODI’s.
(Closely followed by) India, who had played a total number of (guaranteed) 74 Tests and 173 ODI’s.
(Next in line is) Australia, who had played a total number of (guaranteed) 73 Tests and 151 ODI’s.
(Last but certainly not the least) South Africa, who have played a total number of (guaranteed) 63 Tests and 112 ODI’s (Except only a decrease of five more ODI numbers than Pakistan).
Going back to the new weekly Inzamam’s catchphrase of “Rotation policy”, from the schedule provided, I figure that would be the least of our worries.

I take it Majid Khan, on his way to dethrone that darned turtle by speed and a scorpion by nature Buddha Gavaskar, has full support of all KK members for the nomination of his Chairman of ICC position. :D

Dhobi jee,
I'm making an excerpt from you post: Pakistan had played a total number of (guaranteed) 53 Tests and 117 ODI's.
I like many of you will be wondering that we will/have played less games but we are the one in most dire need of "rotation policy." Imagine if we start playing the #of tests like Aussies. "Apni team to gym mein band ho jaye gee.."

Mian to phir 'A' team ko khila lengey. Un bachon nay bhi to hamara naam roshan karna hai naa, kabhi na kabhi. Is baar nahin to aglee baar sahih. Buddhon nay waisey hee naak mein dum kar rakha hai. :D

Could the number of people populating stadium be a determining factor of how many matches you get to play? i.e. the more number of people more the money generated more number of games you get to play?
Re: ICC unveils six-year international schedule (Pakistan to play 53 Tests and 117 ODI's)
huh...only 117 ODI in 6 years.. Wait till BCCI and PCb sits together..Is saare 6 yr plan ki maa bahen laga denge.. Look for atleast 10% addition into list. Only 53 test give good time for putting some Indo Pak test series.
Re: ICC unveils six-year international schedule (Pakistan to play 53 Tests and 117 ODI's)
pak is hardly ever given a 3-match series home or away so i dont think we can play as many tests as others....
pcb shud atleast make a habit of saying NO to 2-test series....
Armughal :biggthumb, I'm very much with you on what you said. 2-test series usually don't really favor any team. To me, at least a 3 match series should be played so a clear front runner appears. If one team has a really bad dogma, well, we'll have rain or weather but usually 3 test series end up with a clear front runner.
