We're Trying To Create A Special Fund For Test Cricket, Says Jay Shah
International Cricket Council: Jay Shah, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary, has said discussions are underway at the International Cricket Council (ICC) to create a special fund for the survival of Test cricket in the future.
"I am a member of F&CA (Finance and Commercial Affairs) of the ICC. I have suggested there should be a dedicated fund for Test cricket. It's very expensive to host Test matches. If the (ICC) Board approves, we can do that. We're trying to create a special fund for Test cricket," Shah was quoted as saying by The Times of India.
He also said India doesn’t play many Day-Night Tests at home as they tend to end in two days and don’t benefit the spectators as well as broadcasters. India have played three day-night Tests at home, which have ended in less than three days. The last Day-Night Test for India at home was against Sri Lanka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru in March 2022, which they won by 238 runs.
