Restrict Test Cricket To Six Or Seven Teams; Spread The Game Through T20s, Says Ravi Shastri
"When you don't have quality, that is when the ratings drop, there are fewer people in the crowd, its meaningless cricket, which is the last thing sport wants. You have 12 Test match teams. Bring it down to six or seven and have a promotion and relegation system."
"You can have two tiers but let the top six keep playing to sustain the interest in Test cricket. You can spread the game (in the world) in other formats, like T20," said Shastri at the MCC World Cricket Connects event at the Lord’s.
