Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has supported the ICC's proposal of Four-Day Test match. Irfan Pathan, while giving his views on this, said that it is a good idea to take Test cricket further. He said that I have been saying for a long time that four days Test matches should be organized. He said that we play a four-day Test match in Ranji Trophy too and the results also come, so why not in a Test match. Today, even if the results come in the five-day Test, if there is a four-day Test match, the results will come in every match. I think the idea of organizing a four-day Test match is good and I agree with that.
ICC World Test Championship is planning to conduct four-day Test instead of five days from 2023. However, many current cricketers and former cricketers have expressed their disagreement over this idea of ICC. Among the Indian cricketers, legendary players like Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kahli have described it as a wrong decision. Glenn McGrath, Ricky Ponting, Nathan Lyon, Shoaib Akhtar have also spoken against it. However, the ICC will discuss about this in a meeting to be held in Dubai from 27 to 31 March and only then a concrete decision will come out. Irfan Pathan said goodbye to his international cricket career last week. Although he is associated with cricket and is commentating these days.
