Aakash Chopra Lashes Out On The ICC! Check Why

Aakash Chopra Lashes Out On The ICC: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra recently took to Twitter to express his disappointment with the International Cricket Council (ICC). In his tweet, Chopra criticized the ICC for not being able to find time for a three-test series at the end of a 24-month cycle, despite being able to have a championship spread over two years.

Find it really uncomfortable that you are okay to have a championship spread over two years…but can’t find time for a three-test series at the end of the 24 month cycle.
While everybody claims that it’s the Ultimate Format, nobody has the time to give the respect it deserves 🙏…

Chopra’s tweet raises an important issue plaguing the world of cricket for a long time. The test format, considered the ultimate format of the game, has been losing its charm in recent times. With the rise of T20 cricket and the Indian Premier League (IPL), the traditional test format has been pushed to the sidelines.

Understandably, the ICC has to cater to the demands of various cricket boards worldwide. With so many international fixtures and tournaments occurring throughout the year, finding a window for a three-test series can be challenging. However, this should not be an excuse to neglect the test format.

Test cricket is the foundation of cricket, and it must remain strong if the game continues to prosper. The test format is the ultimate test of a player’s skills and temperament, and it is important that it is treated with the respect it deserves.

Chopra’s tweet is a wake-up call for the ICC and cricket boards around the world. They need to find a way to prioritize test cricket and ensure that it remains relevant in the modern era. One way of doing this could be to reduce the number of T20 leagues and international fixtures and give more importance to the test format.
