5 reasons why India's dominance in Tests will continue for a while

5. Cricket craze, investment and young talents

The BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world, and also runs the biggest T20 franchise league in the world. The young Indian players are being coached by Rahul Dravid, the legendary batsman and astute cricket mind. The BCCI has invested in resources for players including their salaries, job security, exposure to high level cricket and frequent matches.

India's cricket-crazy population, where scores of kids dream to play cricket for the nation, helps to maintain the quality of players coming through. Indian cricket can survive within India, a statement that wouldn't hold true for any other nation.

Take South Africa as an example. A country that used to produce remarkable talents, is seeing a plethora of cricketers sign Kolpak deals and play for counties in England. That is unlikely to ever happen in India.

Moreover, sponsorship and broadcasting deals have been yielding big money for BCCI, which is investing in the right way.

India's talent pool is large and deep. There are many players who would've made it to the Test side of any other nation currently, but they are unable to do so in India because of the high competition levels.

If this trend continues, India's dominance in Tests will keep increasing in the future.
