I doubt that , mike. Redistribution of funds - hopefully with more to go around for everyone (?)...
The ICC confirmed that the proposed World Test Championship would be scrapped and replaced with the Champions Trophy in 2017 and 2021 to strengthen their commercial property. "It proved impossible to come up with a format for a four-team finals event in Test cricket that fits the culture of Test cricket and preserves the integrity of the format," its release said. "The most recent ICC Champions Trophy event proved to be very popular with supporters around the world and the future events will build on this success.

How does everyone get more from a redistribution?
The ICC Board also paved a clearer path for high-performing Associate nations to gain Test status. "The winner of the next ICC Intercontinental Cup will be entitled to take part in a play-off against the bottom-ranked Full Member and, if successful, obtain Test status," the ICC said. "This complements the pathways that are already in place for any Member to be able to qualify for the major events in ODI and T20I cricket."

England could be in trouble. In all seriousness, a play-off between Zimbabwe and Ireland or Afghanistan would be quite interesting.

When the sponsorship and television rights increase in value, naturally BCCI, ECB and CA will see the biggest of increases.
If the other nations take test cricket seriously and fully utilise the test match fund, then they too will receive larger revenue streams.

Bigger amounts (maybe) but smaller proportions for the "Small 7" then? That should be a recipe for harmony going forward.
