The World Cricketers' Association has gone upstairs to the DRS in a bid for bilateral series to stay at the scheduling crease.

The players' arm of the sport has interviewed dozens of stakeholders and concluded an annual calendar with assigned windows is required from 2028.

WCA chair and New Zealand CPA boss Heath Mills says their evidence suggests the days of people savouring series without a wider context are fading.

The WCA are taking their proposal to the ICC governing body for further discussion.
