New Delhi: Chappell Ian Legendary believes the T20 format that continues to grow increasingly cashed on the dark shadow over the test cricket, especially in the current chaotic scenario after the Pandemic Covid-19.
Chappell said the T20 has an advantage over traditional format because a short duration is needed for the settlement of the game.
“There is a T20 World Cup that will be played in the UAE and then, after some enthusiasm negotiations, hopefully a credible ash series in Australia.
Difficult negotiations for the ash series are largely caused by covid pandemics, but the more T20.
The format cashed in the dark shadow above Cricket test, “Chappel wrote in the column for EspnCricinfo.
“T20 tournaments involving countries only need a few days to complete and hence much easier to negotiate in a chaotic climate today than a long test series.” Because the short time span involved, T20 is a game that is more suitable than that matches those countries not traditional playing cricket.
Therefore Tyros’s involvement such as Oman and Papua New Guinea in the T20 tournament to come.
“Great Australia said the T20 format was more profitable and lured for the players.” The T20 format is also more profitable and popular when compared to the Cricket test in countries other than Australia and the United Kingdom.
Considering most of the administrators are myopics when it comes to problems other than the bottom line, this is a critical point in any planning for the future of the game.
“The cost of infrastructure needed to produce test players is a barrier for non-traditional cricket countries.
On the other hand there are good opportunities they can run the T20 competition and really attract fans – which will provide revenue stream,” Chappell explained.
“Even if non-traditional countries do not have T20 competition itself, their better players have the opportunity to make a living by playing in foreign tournaments.” Chappell feels the test cricket will continue to survive but advance, it will remain limited among traditional crickets.
“All of these factors point to the future test series are mostly played among traditional cricket countries.
It is difficult to see the long form of prosperous game in the latest testing countries, Ireland and Afghanistan,” he said.
“They do not have a first-class infrastructure that is able to support the player’s development system with a deep proposition.” This is a bleak image for the Cricket test, which has been exacerbated by the chaos made by a pandemic In the mind of the player.
“Players now – as they should – less reluctant to speak and act on mental health problems.
This will be critical in future planning.
“Not only the administrator needs to think about seriously what is too long has become a very dense schedule but regarding the right balance between financial needs and the welfare of players will also need some creative thinking,” he said.
The 78-year-old player feels a system where weak nations can employ players from other countries can make tartitional formats more competitive and overcome current imbalances among countries playing.
“It can mean introducing a design system where a weaker test team can get players circulating from other countries to increase their competitiveness.
This can be a way for talented players from outside the countries that rotate to experience a longer sensation of games “He wrote.
“The current imbalance between strong and weak play countries is another obstacle in promoting five-day matches.
Creating a balance between financial benefits T20 and the need to fully test players in longer contests is a big challenge.”
