In an exclusive conversation with Sportskeeda, Saqlain Mushtaq said that I think Test cricket will also end in the next 15-20 years. The younger generation would naturally want to play T20 cricket with their mindset. Even considering the financial side and timing, T20 cricket ticks all the boxes.

Saqlain Mushtaq said that ICC and cricket boards have to find some way to keep Test cricket alive

Saqlain Mushtaq further said that the ICC and cricket boards have to find some way to keep Test cricket alive as this is the real cricket. It is test cricket which helps you to learn life skills like strategy, patience, decision making etc. If you want money and fame then there is T20 cricket. But if you want life skills and want to play the purest form of cricket, it is Test cricket.

ICC has also taken some steps regarding Test cricket

It is worth noting that the ICC has also taken some steps regarding Test cricket. The World Test Championship is the biggest step among them. New Zealand won this championship last time. Now this second cycle is going on. This has been done to bring people’s interest in Test cricket.

Although T20 cricket is very popular at the moment. Almost every Test nation has its own T20 league. In such a situation, it is also correct to talk about the loss of Test cricket. Test cricket doesn’t last as long as before. If seen, there have been changes in the longest format.
