But grave

Cricket West Indies: Johnny Grave, the outgoing CEO of Cricket West Indies (CWI), has expressed doubts on the proposed 15 million USD Test fund making any difference to growing the longer format of the game.

Various reports have suggested that the International Cricket Council (ICC) could propose a dedicated Test fund for supporting and holding the longer format games in nations outside of the Big 3 - Australia, India and England.

It is a brainchild of Cricket Australia chairman Mike Baird, which will also have a minimum standard match fee for players worth 10,000 USD. But Grave, whose term as WI CEO ends on October 2024, doesn’t think the initiative will be enough to save Test cricket.
