REUTERS: The World Test Championship should be held every four years on the lines of the World Cup in the shorter formats of cricket, batting great Sachin Tendulkar told Reuters on Tuesday.
"Maybe to generate even more interest, it could become like a World Cup. A World Cup is not played all across the globe. World Cup is played in just one or two countries," Tendulkar said in a telephone interview. Critics have pointed out that the final should have been promoted more heavily as there has been barely any buzz created for Friday's contest, which was switched out of Lord's due to COVID-19 protocols.
India coach Ravi Shastri has said a best-of-three final would have been an ideal way to determine the winner at the end of the WTC's two-year cycle."India played all four tests in Australia, and four test matches against England at home," Tendulkar, who retired from international cricket in 2013, explained.
