India’s cricket chief Sourav Ganguly has come out against playing four-day Tests, proposed by the world governing body as a way to squeeze more cricket into a packed calendar.
Four-day Tests have been tried in one-off games between SA and Zimbabwe and England against Ireland, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India is among a growing list of critics. “When you have four days the approach is different,” he said. “I really feel there is no need to tinker with those five-day Test matches. And for me Test matches are the toughest and the best form of cricket.”
India, which refused to play a Test under floodlights in Australia in 2018, joined the pink-ball party against Bangladesh in Kolkata in 2019. The final Test of a two-match series attracted packed crowds at Eden Gardens despite the Test lasting less than three days. India won the series 2-0.
