Test Cricket Should Be Left As It Is: Captain Gill

Only format which gives a second chance: Gill

- Press Trust of India

Five Tests between India and England going down to the wire should be enough to convince the sport's authorities not to tinker with the format, reckoned Shubman Gill after a dramatic win at The Oval on Monday.

All five games were stretched to day five, making it an ideal promotion for the format that faces threat from franchise cricket boom. On a lighter note, Gill said a four-day Test in this context would have led to four drab draws.

“Test cricket should be, as it is, in my opinion, it is the most, rewarding and satisfying format, you work the hardest, to be able to, get a win, and, the best thing, about this format, is it always gives you a second chance, which none of the other formats give,” Gill said in the post-match press conference.
