About time it happened...I have stated earlier too that test cricket is definetley the real deal
International Cricket Council (ICC) has said it expects day-night test cricket within two years and described a world test cricket championship as a "work in progress".
Reuters reports that ICC president David Morgan said yesterday: "I'd be be "surprised" if we don't see day-night test cricket within the next two years - surprised and disappointed."
The test cricket world championship is a bit further away from seeing the light of day. "The test championship is best described as a work in progress," ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said yesterday.
"We are aspiring to create some sort of test championships model and a working group was set up at the last chief executives' meeting on December 1 in Dubai. They will put together concepts for a test championship and we hope to consider a proposal at our next meeting in February."
Lorgat also said the ICC was aiming to reduce the amount of top level cricket matches played from next year.

ReplyDeleteToo much to digest. D&N test cricket .. well sounds interesting but appears only half baked.. there are too many issues to sort out before that happens and my guess is if ICC does not do enough home work it would turn out to be as ugly as the newly lauched referral system.
ReplyDeleteI wish some things can remain the way they are. White clothes, red cherry and day games. What needs to change is the state of wickets and grounds. Pitches if sporting can change the state of this sport.
I wish ICC can stick to basics rather than going for the jugular.
