When I watch Test matches between teams like England, Australia, India and South Africa, I feel that there is a different kind of excitement in Test matches and the beauty of the cricketers is in the Test format, but when other countries outside these countries face each other and when they play Test cricket, I don't know why it is boring to watch the Test format. Currently, different countries are organizing T20 leagues, due to which cricketers from different countries are busy with T20 leagues most of the year, due to which Test cricket is not actually organized in that way, but ICC should take several steps in this regard so that Test cricket does not lose its popularity. I think that when a country organizes a bilateral series, the Test format should be made mandatory so that the future generation is also interested in this Test format. The most prestigious tournament in the Test format is the Test Championship, where one of the teams, Australia, England, South Africa or India, is always the champion, but if this format can be managed differently, maybe the new teams can do well there.

Do you really watch 5-days in a row? I don't even remember when was the last time that I watched a full test match. Must be at least 2 decades ago, during the Ashes. Test cricket is not compatible with the modern fast-moving lifestyle. Even students and pensioners don't have time to watch these matches now.

Most of the members are spamming here about cricket because I am 100% sure no one from this forum is watch 5 days game in stadium or in front of television in last 15 o 20 years because no one having enough time for this.
T20 franchise doing good business and changing game momentum but still top countries have something for test format which is good now its good time for doing few changes restricting test for 6 to 8 countries or bringing 2 tiers which will help for development of this game.
