5 reasons why ICC should adopt Ranji-style pattern in Test cricket

Cricketers will take Test cricket more seriously

For Test cricket to survive, change is the necessity.

In all, the two-tier system will have a different impact on cricketers ‘on an individual level’ as each one of them donning the whites will try to give their best, keeping in mind not only the team’s ranking but also their personal achievements and milestones, as most of the greats of the game chose Test cricket as the best format of the game that defines the real character of a cricketer where his skills, temperament, fitness, timing, attitude, tactics are measured to the threshold (particularly by the media and critics).

This will also help Test cricket survive in the fast flourishing world of T20 cricket and the existing mix of Test and T20 format i.e. the ODI format.
