The Indian team played a total of 5 Test matches at home this time. First, India defeated Bangladesh in two Test matches. After that, the team lost 0-3 to New Zealand. But during this period all competitions ended 5 days ago. Recently, the final two Test matches of the series were against New Zealand and were played over three days. In addition, the results of the first game of the series were also announced on the fifth day. But the first day was a complete failure due to rain. Under such circumstances, this game was played for 4 days. In light of all this, the former India captain made a bombshell statement. The veteran believes it is time to shorten the testing period from five days to four days.
Important statement from Indian legend on exam format
Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar believes the time has come for the International Cricket Council to make Test matches a four-day affair. Vengersarkar told TOI, “Test matches should be reduced to four days as most matches end in four days. Also, most of the affiliated committees of the International Cricket Council, except India, Australia and England, are not Neither are in good condition, so a four-day Test match could save them some money.
Dilip Vengersarkar further said: “For a team like West Indies, traveling to other parts of the world to play Test matches is financially very expensive and very tiring. Also, the match ends in three days Now, selling five-day tickets is not appropriate either. Let us tell you that of the last 25 Test matches played in India, 12 have ended in three days, while seven of the matches between India and England have ended in four days. The pink ball Test in Madabad can only last for two days.
Test matches should be held in big cities in India
Vengsarkar also said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India should organize Test matches in big cities and ODI-T20s in other centers in India. He said: “Mumbai people have given huge support to Test cricket. Even in empty stadiums, their numbers have been huge compared to other venues in this series. I think it’s time to just do it in New Delhi, Test cricket is organized in Test centers such as Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Chennai. ODI and T20 matches can be held at the remaining centres.
