The biggest pitfall of T20 cricket

[Xoib]

Some of our high potential fast bowlers such as Hasnain, Naseem, Waseem etc are not getting enough red ball cricket. As they are with the national team bowling 4 over spells while the domestic season is on hence they're red ball skills and fitness dont develop, they need a lot of red ball bowling at this stage of their cricket career.

Not sure what can be done about it just wanted to put it out.

There should be no intnl series played by pakistan during the domestic 4 day season

Doesnt india ensure the ranji trophy is protected in terms of player availability?

How do you expect players to develop their test skills without playing any fc cricket?

People will cry out like this only during a Pakistani test match series. Once the series is over all attention will be on T20s again and this will be forgotten.

Worst part is high potential bowlers like Hasnain are carried by national side as net bowlers while the likes of trundler Ali are playing fc cricket.

Hasnain has been in the system for good 5 years yet has played less then 10 fc matches.

Current Pakistan pacers dont have the hunger for twst cricket also.

Shaheen rushed himself to get fit for T 20 championship when the home test series should have been his priority to reach full fitness re: Bumrah.
Naseem can bowl with one leg vs India in a T 20 yet chickened out with a slight shoulder pain for this game.

T20 has destroyed cricket as we know it. It is like junk food; feels good but not nutritious.

none of the multi format players enough first class cricket. first class and test cricket is not priority for rambo and this pcb, he wants to make money first.

Good post. I always thought Hasnain would make a very good Test bowler and I'm not sure why that has not happened. The best QEA bowler was Ali and he looks very average. Might as well invest in Hasnain, Dahani and hope they learn.

Atleast they have pace and high release and there's something to work with.

When the season was on he was doing towel duties for main team happens every year.
I think Hasnain and Shaheen have the best potential to be test opening attack but Hasnain is being totally wasted will eventually become a pyjama mercenary

More than Rambo our top stars give a dawn about first class cricket Premier spinner Shadan not interested in Test cricket is a prime example

Most people don't care about Test Cricket, and would much rather win in T20. T-20 should be the priority imo. Then ODI.

T20 attracts casual cricket fans. No serious cricket lover can love T20 over ODI or Test.

And the ratio of casual fans to cricket lovers is probably 100 to 1.

A great team is one that usually plays and wins home and away in the longer formats

Nobody remembers your t20 wins Names and players are made in the longer format

Alot more people will remember the T20 World Cup than some random test series. Again casual cricket fans are the overwhelming majority.

I disagree im afraid Test cricket is the highest form of cricket and a team will never be successful just concentrating on the tamasha form of it

Its no coincidence that the likes of england aus and india who play the most tests and give it high importance are amongst the better all format teams in the world at the moment

Pakistan needs to stop just concentrating on the psl and t20s alone and needs to start giving its fc cricket some importance too

20 20 will finish the other formats specially OD cricket , unless ICC makes strong decision.

Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott has called for the T20 Blast to be axed, stating that "two T20-like competitions is overkill" following the introduction of The Hundred.

There are now three domestic white-ball tournaments in England, with The Hundred played concurrently with the One-Day Cup meaning that most counties are left without their top stars.

As a result, the majority of English cricketers have not played a domestic List A game since 2019, with the One-Day Cup scrapped in 2020 due to Covid and then overshadowed by The Hundred ever since.

And Boycott believes the Blast is the tournament that should be scrapped given the ECB are all in on The Hundred, claiming "too much of a good thing can breed apathy" when it comes to white-ball cricket.

"I understand that T20 will not improve the standards of our cricketers," Boycott wrote in a column for the Telegraph. "It is not intended to.

"It is meant to be fun and exciting and if players enjoy playing it and people enjoy watching it then nobody should criticise it. Sport should be about enjoyment.

"But too much of a good thing can breed apathy and we have too many one-day competitions. Our counties play each other in T20 matches and a 50-over competition, and on top of that we have the Hundred.

"If the Hundred is seen as that important because it brings money into the game then scrap the T20 Blast the counties play. Two T20-like competitions is overkill and clogs up the cricket calendar."

"More importantly, it makes no sense for counties to be playing each other without their best England players, and the top overseas stars are saving themselves for the Hundred," he added. "It is a mad way of running our sport."

Another thing is good teams are built on strong FC structure even for T20s, because you need decent basics to succeed in international cricket.
Case in point west indies, they were very good t20 team till 2016 but slowly stopped producing good t20 talent too as they prioritised t20 over anything else. They sent all their players to various leagues around the world and played cpl t20 leaving their domestic cricket completely ignored.
