English cricketer Jason Roy fined £2,500, given suspended by the ECB for uncovered misconduct. What's wrong did he commit actually? That has been uncovered up to this point. I've never seen that the players got punished yet the offense not uncovered. It's absolutely amateurish of any cricket association except if they're attempting to make a specific statement.

Jason Roy is surely one of the best player in short format, and he was very good in CWC in England where he destroys many bowlers with his skills, but sadly he has never been an ideal person with many controversies on and off field issues related with him in last many years.

Now, this new case is surely having something serious most chances it's not related to spot fixing or leaking information's to bookies if we have any case like this then surely ECB will give all updates about this to media so most chances it's related to some internal issue like drugs or his behavior just because of this ECB just announces some fine and nothing else. Recently we have things like these in Sri Lankan tour of England but SLCB give all details about this and then give punishment to their players but here just this statement is just wired.

I believe that he could have leaked out sensitive information to interested parties (bookies) during match days, because that’s one of the reasons why such bans are usually issued. Furthermore unofficially it does looks like they find him guilty of some type of match fixing, but not at a big scale hence he’s been given lighter punishment, and until ECB discloses their official reason all we can do is speculate at this stage.

I think that the reason is not something really big otherwise he would have been fine a lot more money and might also face a ban for a long time. I am also not exactly sure why this has happened.
By the way, he also cannot play the next two international matches with England. It will be really interesting to see the official news about this.

Is there any chance that this all drama happening due to White powder aka Cocaine? As far as i know fair amount of English players, even domestic players are very fond of white powder and never shy away to use some here n there whenever there is a opportunity.

If it was related to match fixing or similar scandal to Shakib (not informing authorities on right time regarding bookies) then i don't think ECB would have shy away to highlight the charges.

I think every board is independent in deciding how many test matches will be played in there home tour. For instance, in NZ there are always 2 test matches in every series. They don't like playing much test. If board is getting benefit only then they are playing more test cricket. I do agree that there cricket fans like T20 format only.

As per the ICC rules for the World Test Championship (WTC), each full member need to conduct at least one test series against each of the remaining 9 full members, and there should be a minimum of 2 test matches in each of these series. So the national boards are forced to include test matches in their itinerary, even if they have little interest in doing so. And this is one of the reasons why I always say that the WTC has made cricket more boring. Ideally national teams should only play one test series (2-3 matches) per year.

It is actually going to have a negative effect on this cricket. Because people want more action and they will get that in ODI and t20 cricket.

So, in this rule test cricket will be like the YouTube ads. I think we all understand how annoying YouTube ads can be, and when we watch a video on YouTube and a promotional advertisement pops up, we just want it to finish or skip it.

I think that the same thing is going to be happening to test cricket.

I don't see any reason why a team should play a lot more test cricket if it is not generating much revenue. I think, if that same time is given to any other formats of cricket then the popularity will be growing a lot more and they will be able to reach a lot more people through those formats instead of test cricket.

I got that test cricket is the birth of cricket, but with time everything changes. and so has the expectation of cricket fans.

What is coming up next for our discussion and expert opinion

I must say.
I am too tried of pitch reviews - need to have some good topic of discussion to be generated- Do you know any interesting fact about cricket anything which excites you or about sportsman who you think people are less aware? Enlighten me please!

Yeah every board is independent but still ICC is big stakeholder in this all process they need to talk with all boards and having some good experts as well as we can go in positive way because as ICC started WTC there were hopes this will bring some good fans base but nothing happen in positive way, and we still have the worst results from West Indies and Pakistan with this all most chances we can lose charm for test cricket so here they need to talk about more T20 and ODI and then have all franchise in their frame for better results hopefully this will bring some better and positive way for all.

Or, they need to check with this WTC have some strict policies about these dead pitches and give punishment which can bring some fair and good competition and better results in near future.

Actually having three test matches in every series might not be the best idea. If it is actually done, I mean three test matches in every series then I think cricket might lose a lot more popularity altogether.

I actually think test cricket is holding cricket back as a whole. Don't get me wrong. I love this cricket and I am sure that the players also enjoy playing test cricket.

But, yes it is not enjoyable for the fans. seems fans are the main source of revenue, it's better to give the other formats of cricket a lot more time than test cricket right now.

For now atleast every cricket series will have a test match. This keeps the test cricket alive, and once again time comes back for test cricket. In the fast moving World people need to run more fast and by the time such a long cricket match is something unwanted. In reality, everyone doesn't think in such a way, if they've tasted how good test cricket matches.

This need to change, right? What is the point in having 3 test matches (15 days) in every series, when far fewer days are allotted to T20 and ODI cricket? I am OK with one test match per series. The remainder of the time should be given to limited overs cricket, as it is far more popular now when compared to the longer format. If the ICC want to keep test format alive, then the solution is not to have more matches. The real solution is to make test cricket more interesting, by reducing the number of lop-sided matches.

ICC is doing his best to promote T20I by halting entire cricket during that tournament. What else you want ? ICC has only 10 months to complete the entire year of cricket. Test is important and founding block of cricket, it has its own benefits and its necessary for provision of good players for T20.

Test cricket was exciting many decades ago, when we had players such as Brian Lara, Brett Lee, Glen McGrath, Shane Warne, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Wasim Akram, Muttiah Muralitharan, Alan Donald and Alistair Cook. But the current bunch of players don't have any test skills and they concentrate solely on limited overs cricket. Only a few fringe players such as Pujara and Rahane are considered as test specialists in India. The same is the case with other South Asian nations as well. Test cricket is in a better position in SENA nations though.

Test cricket is not appealing to people anymore. I remember I didn't even watch the match by which New Zealand won the WTC. I am quite sure that if a person is still watching test cricket, either he is a student or a retired person.

Because people simply don't have the time right now to watch test cricket and basically waste a huge part of their life. And the players have also realized that the other formats are a lot more interesting and appealing to people than test cricket. We don't often find players who are better in especially test cricket.

Watching griping test cricket was amazing back when people had time. With the arrival of so many electric gadgets and Internet so common and easily accessible, people have so much to watch - also T20 is much liked and admired by the people – it is more happening and exciting. But then again sports is always appealing – we would not want to miss special moments.

SENA countries are very strong in economical way so just because of this they are very good in test matches, and we can also do in this Asia but sadly right now India, Pakistan conflict is the biggest issue if this solved then without any doubt we can bring some big changes in few sports economical and quality because there is no doubt we have some good number of players with good skills and minds those can bring big changes.

But, right now have no opportunities for these things and it already hurts one generation with most chance next generation is also going to have big lost just because of this conflict which is not going to settle, and we will have no better dreams or hopes for positive things can happen here even India is still enjoying good in IPL.

PakistanW player really well against WI Women.WIW didn’t bat as well and didn’t big score and PakistanW won this match easily. ICC women ODI world cup, AustraliaW played very well this year i hope they will win and they will be champion this year.

This is the first win Pakistani Women Cricket team bagged. Pakistani Women Cricket team won this first match Since 2009. They must be really very happy to have won the first match. The team have had very low moral because they didn't win any match till yet. Well played girls! Hope they see many victories in the day to come!

No one has enough time to go through an entire test match. It takes 40 hours of your time. Only if you are a student, or a retired person, you have this much time available with you. And look at the ongoing test matches, such as the one between England and West Indies, and the one between Pakistan and Australia. What you will gain from watching these useless matches. Both the teams make 500 plus scores and then the match ends in a draw. You want to waste 40 hours of your time to watch such matches?

Test cricket was invented in time when people have ample time to spare, it's not invented in current time. To meet mood of 21st century people, T20 has jumped in and so far it has done quite a fair job in promoting cricket to new countries. The second match between Pakistan and Australia was exciting till the last ball, as Aussies were looking for victory while Pakistan wanna draw.

Shaheen Shah did some good bowling to take two very important wickets - most of the people are predicting that match will end in draw. I assume the same.
And that's correct test match takes so much of our time it become boring sometime. But then there are exciting moment we dont want to miss.
