Bazid Khan highlighted the lack of genuine commitment from cricket boards toward Test cricket, criticizing scheduling priorities that favor T20 formats while speaking on a local sports media outlet:
"You decide your bilateral series and the arrangements yourself. Now, if you don't even have time for bilateral series and are more committed to T20 cricket, then the problem isn't just with the ICC but also with the boards."
"I'm saying this is a problem across the board. You make statements like 'Test cricket is number one,' but in reality, if someone who doesn’t follow cricket looks at the schedule, they’ll think that Test matches are less important than T20s."
"If an outsider just looks at the schedule, they’ll assume that the five-day matches (Tests) are not as important as these 20-over matches (T20s). Based on the schedule alone, T20s seem to take precedence."
"It's easy to say that Test cricket is very important, but practically, that isn't visible in the way things are being planned."
"If Test cricket truly is the most important format, then you need to structure your schedule around it and create a proper scale for it. That commitment isn’t visible right now."
