Former England captain Michael Vaughan says it is high time now that the Test cricket should become a four-day affair instead of five.
According to a data showed by the sen.com.au, “Of the last 50 Tests in international cricket, just three have been draws – with those all heavily rain-impacted, while two-thirds of those Tests finished on Day 4 or earlier.”
Vaughan thinks reducing the Test by one day will also ease out the tight cricketing schedule and it will also bring the result because of the way current generation of cricketers play.
“We’ve got players that are incredibly entertaining now,” Vaughan told SEN Afternoons.
“I’d start on a Thursday and finish on a Sunday.
“I believe four-day cricket would be easier to schedule. It’d be easy for everyone to understand that Test match, cricket starts every Thursday when we’re playing the Test match game and it finishes on a Sunday… if it makes it to Sunday.
“Let’s be honest, the way that the players go out and play their business now, they don’t play like I used to play or some of the teams back in the 80s and 90s played.
“They’re playing a brand of cricket which is pretty much to try and win as quick as they possibly can and put the opposition under pressure.
“So, I genuinely believe that the administrators around the world need to seriously consider if it’s time to go from five (days) to four.
