BCCI prioritises Test cricket, it's about time other boards follow suit

[topspin]

Good joke. BCCI prioritises IPL and is the very reason why test cricket will be reduced to the Big 3 before it's finished for good.

Not entirely sure Pakistan is representative of what is going on in world cricket at the moment……

50 overs is more popular than Test cricket pretty much everywhere except maybe England.

No formats is dying . ICC world Cup is still Pinnacle of world cricket .

Test cricket is pure cricket no doubt about it .

T20 cricket is just for entertainment . People forget in few days unless its T20 world Cup

People forget but the bank accounts are full and these big money accounts subsidize "pure cricket".

This is the harsh reality. As much as I love rest cricket it's just not viable long term.

Test cricket is viable only in aus eng ind. Rest all countries should stop playing tests . In pak as well- test cricket is pretty much done. Its just not sustainable. Next 10 years- that transition will happen. Do i like it? No - but its just inevitable.

This is not about Bangladesh's but test cricket in perticular.

I'm Die Hard test cricket fan but BCCI were robbed us a series victory in England just because greedy IPL money .

Kanpur is unfit to host cricket yet they choose this venue to make some people happy ( Rajeev Shukla)

There is too much politics inside BCCI.

Jaipur is best place to host test cricket this time but from a decade there were no international cricket at this venue because RCA has no connection in BCCI currently.

Test matches are allocated by rotation. It was UPCA's turn to host the test. They chose Green Park. FYI Green Park hosted a test match in 2021

You really think Shukla is that powerful? He is a congress politician. I doubt anyone here will even know who controls UPCA and why Kanpur is important to them.

Sawai man Singh stadium doesn't host test matches. It hasn't hosted a test in 3 decades.

Right now RCA is building its own stadium, which will be ready next year.

T20 wc is important now post 2010 ish. Everyone is taking it seriously. It's somewhat of a lottery in semis and finals but only the top team can win it. It's not easy for minnows to win. And no west indies isn't a minnow in this format.

Odi world cup yes is the pinnacle apart from test series wins away from home. But they should cancel odi bilaterals. Just have one or 2 series before the WC that's itm waste or time. T20 and tests is good enouhj

Rajeev Shukla is ex IPL chairman and vice president of BCCI .he has power ,that's why Kanpur got this test even though last test played in 2021 home session.

BCCi is allocated the test to them so its definitely BCCI fault .this ground is pretty unfit to hist test cricket without renovation.

Rajeev Shukla has little power. He isn't a member of UPCA anymore.

One family has controlled UPCA since 1928. To them Kanpur is important. That's why UPCA holds tests in Kanpur and not Lucknow.

This may change once Varanasi stadium is ready.

UPCA was alloted test. It was their chance by rotation. They could have chosen Lucknow but chose Kanpur.

Be test matches played . kanpur doens't fit to host any international cricket. Period .

Stop defending BCCI all the time they are not care about fans hut money's .

You saying doesn't change the rules of BCCI. UPCA is the final authority to decide in which stadium they will hold the match.

BCCI doesn't and wont interfere in it.

BCCI never interferes in the state associations workings. Likes of Shashank Manohar and Sharad Pawar sabotaged a test match so that India loses the BGT in 2005. Why? Because Dalmiya beat Pawar in BCCI elections.

Could BCCI ban Nagpur or punish VCA? No.

I can give more examples.

BCCI works as per BCCI, no matter who is in power.

I wouldn’t miss test cricket if it ended. Soon or later it will be gone. Things changes with time. That's life.
