Just like Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar, Akhtar also opposed this ICC's four-day Test proposition.
Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has expressed his thoughts on the International Cricket Council's (ICC) proposition to four-day Test matches in attempts to make the longest format of the game more thrilling for the fans.
Just like Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar, Akhtar also opposed this idea and claimed it will definitely hamper the future of Test cricket.
The 44-year-old also expressed his belief that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly will also not approve something like this happen to red-ball cricket.
“The idea of play four-day Test match is rubbish and no one should be interested in this. Sourav Ganguly will not let this thing happen as he is an intelligent man with a lot of cricketing experience. He will not let the Test cricket die,” Shoaib said in a video on his YouTube channel.
“The ICC can not implement a four-day Test without BCCI’s permission. I want more people from Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka to come forward and give a strong statement about this. I want legendary cricketers from my country to voice their opinion,” he added.
Former and current cricketing heavyweights like Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Ricky Ponting, Virat Kohli, etc have all voiced their opinions against ICC's idea of four-day Test matches.
“Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli came up with a very strong statement which I love about them," he claimed.
"I wanted to voice my opinion when it comes to saving Test cricket. It is very important for each one of us to raise a voice and make sure that we save the longest format of the game,” he added.
