Comment: I would say that the tour consists of minor fixtures, as they aren't listed as offcial Test or first-class matches by ESPNcricinfo. WP:CRIC will not consider it as notable unless there's some independent coverage about the tour apart from routine announcements. RoboCric Let's chat 12:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
