"Australia, England, India and another top team will feature in the Super Series, which begins in 2021, and the first edition of the tournament will be played in India," Ganguly told reporters in Kolkata.

Under the plan, Australia would host the event in October-November or in February-March, but CA chairman Earl Eddings has been of the belief the international schedule is tight.

CA did not wish to comment on Tuesday, but Langer agreed there wasn't a lot of room in the future tours program.

"It is. We all understand the schedule in world cricket is really tight, so I am sure there will be lots of negotiation and there are people, that's their role to negotiate and get that right. But we all know it is a tight schedule," he said.

The initial instalment is slated to be held in India in October 2021, although there is a World Twenty20 tournament scheduled for around that time in India.

The England and Wales Cricket Board met with Ganguly, BCCI secretary Jay Shah and treasurer Arun Singh Dhumal this month, while Eddings and CA chief executive Kevin Roberts will head to India next month for discussions where the series is likely to be an agenda item.

India's might has been reinforced by having Australia play a rare three-match one-day series in the middle of next month, despite this being the peak of the Australian summer. CA had wanted to rearrange the tournament but the BCCI would not budge.

This four-nations proposal comes as Ganguly makes it clear the BCCI is unhappy with the dividends it receives from the ICC. India is widely thought to help generate about 80 per cent of the game's revenue.

Based on forecasts, India will receive US$293 million over the current eight-year cycle (2016-2023), the biggest slice of all nations, with Australia to pocket US$132 million. However, Ganguly says India deserves more.
