When the news of International Cricket Council’s (ICC) proposing a plan to introduce four-day Tests came to light, many cricketers like Nathan Lyon and Neil Wagner going against the new format.
Now joining the voices opposing ICC's plan is India captain Virat Kohli. The skipper questioned the intention behind the move saying there’s no end to it.
The ICC is planning to introduce four-day Test matches during its next FTP cycle (2023-31) so as to free space for more commercially lucrative shorter formats.
“According to me, it should not be altered,” Kohli said on Saturday. “As I said, the day-night is another step towards commercialising Test cricket and you know, creating excitement around it, but it can’t be tinkered with too much. I don’t believe so.”
Kohli, who has been a vocal supporter of Test cricket, has time and again called it the ‘best format’. He says Day-Night Test should be the only change made in Tests. “You know the Day-Night Test is the most that should be changed about Test cricket, according to me,” he said.
He added four days will lead to demands for three-day before the format getting scrapped. “Then you are purely only talking about getting numbers, entertainment and you know. I think the intent will not be right then because then you will speak of three-day Tests. I mean where do you end. Then you will speak of Test cricket disappearing,” Kohli said. “So I don’t endorse that at all. I don’t think that is fair to the purest format of the game. How cricket started initially, and you know five-day Tests was the highest of tests you can have at the International level.”
Kohli is also not interested in trying out newer formats. With England and Wales Cricket Board all set to introduce 100-ball cricket this year, the Indian batsman said, “T20 was a revelation (in terms) of the introduction of a new format. I was asked about the 100-ball format (introduced by ECB) and I said I am not going to go and try myself out in another kind of format because there’s already so much going on”.
