The longest form of cricket may just get a bit shorter. In a bid to give it a makeover, the
International Cricket Council is exploring the possibility of reducing Test cricket to four days,
ICC president David Morgan said.
The suggestion comes in the wake of many other plans — such as two-tier format, segregating
stronger teams from the weaker ones, and day-night matches — the apex body has come up with
to revive the game's marquee form.
"Another thought that many people have, that we are examining is whether Test match cricket can
be played over four days rather than five. I would be very surprised if within a year you haven't
seen some significant changes in Test match cricket," Morgan said in an interview with India
Today..
