Acting chief of the ICC Dave Richardson has said the World cricket board intends to put measures in place to preserve test cricket. He denied wild claims from 'certain' quarters that stated ICC were not interested in test because of the rise in popularity of 20/20 matches. Nothing could be further from the truth he said, & that also included 50 over games. When you ask players from most countries where their loyalties lay, they all answered that test cricket was first. At the next meeting in Dubhai, 29th June, ICC will discuss plans for a test championship, a league spread over 1,2, or 4 years.But the mean to keep test cricket at the pinnacle of the game.'It is a perfect balance between 50& 20 over cricket' Richardson said. Richardson was a former wicket keeper for S.Africa.
