A Test Championship is bound to consume a lot of time

A Test match alone takes 5 days to complete and if multiple nations are involved in fighting for a title, just imagine how much time it is going to consume. Test matches are played at home and away venues and the neutral venues are bound to favour one side more than the other.

Additionally, if there are interruptions due to rain, then no one knows what would happen. The biggest challenge in the Test Championship is the interest of the crowd. In Test cricket these days, there is hardly 10 percent of the seats occupied in a stadium and so, to imagine a tournament with that is very difficult.
