The current President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Sourav Ganguly had also once stated about a four nation series, bringing the four best team to play against each other. However, at that time, Pakistan was not in the plan.
According to sources from then, Ganguly went to England to discuss about the series, involving England and Australia alongside India. However, the 4th team was not confirmed, but New Zealand were the front runner.
But, the COVID-19 pandemic completely spoiled the idea and we are yet to any development on that. Now it will be interesting to see how BCCI will react to Ramiz Raja’s plan.
