After a prolonged
T20 spell of International stature and numerous multimillion dollar leagues,
International test season of many cricketing giants has started from 9th of
this month- Austrailia vs. South Africa, India vs. England, New Zealand vs.
Srilanka, Westindesh vs. Bangladesh - Except Pakistan & Zimbabwe, every
single test playing nation would be playing in whites infront of mostly
not-so-excited-crowd in rarely even half field stadiums.
But the fact of
the matter is that according to cheif invincibles of ICC, Test Championship of
top four test team will start in 2017 and will be organized every 4 years.
But who will play
in the inaugural event is a great concern.
Since the
powerful Indian board will make sure that Team BCCI must participate despite
their awful recent & historical record in longest format, and it will
influence the cut-off date to make it favourable for them.
Therefore my idea
is that cricket fraternity now must wake from a long lasting sleep and
announced the decent date to ensure that deserving teams make it.
As it stands now,
South Africa , Austrailia , England
and Pakistan
But with many
home series for India
