More womens tests and ease the load for the men in one go (criticism welcome)

In recent years, the australian summer has been getting increasingly crowded. Its been extended to march to fit everything in for crying out loud. Men's test players have faced even greater loads, with increased white ball demands too.

At the same time, we've all been crying for more women's tests like a puddle for water in a drought. The solution? Make series such as the Ashes a mixed contest. Could be 6 games total, 3 for the men, 3 for the women. It would not only bring the glory of Kingy and Belsy to the public eye, but force other nations to actually put investment into their womens' cricket programs. Imagine if the England had to have a decent womens team to get the ashes, maybe that mixed format series the other year wouldn't have been such a boring whitewash. What if India had to do the same to get the BGT, maybe their women would be competitive in a format other than T20.

MAYBE THERE WOULD BE SOMEONE OTHER THAN AUSTRALIA WHO WOULD WIN WOMENS TESTS

MAYBE THERE WOULD BE ICC RANKINGS FOR WOMENS TESTS AND WE COULD PROVE ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT BELSY AND KINGY ARE THE BEST EVER AND-

AND MAYBE THERE WOULD BE TIME FOR MENS TEST STARS TO FEATURE IN THE BBL OCCASIONALLY, NOT JUST AT THE END OF THE SEASON AND WE COULD WITNESS THE GLORY OF MR EYEBLACKS AND STARC IN THE SAME T20 TEAM ONCE IN A WHILE. FOR FUNSIES

anyway as i said in the title, criticism welcome.
