5 reasons why holding Test matches at smaller venues is a great step

#2 Growth of the game

Crowds love to watch their stars play

Gone are the days when Indian cricket would be hogged by players from the metros. The current Indian team has many players from the non-conventional cities and this is an indication of the growth of the game.

If the matches are held at these centres, more young people would watch their heroes play in front of them and then accordingly pick up the game.

The selectors too would get plenty of options on their plate to choose from and this only augurs well for the National team. The game benefits as it seeps into unknown quarters and draws out the best talent.
