When the World Test Championship starts most of the teams are busy with the Test series and when the ODI World Cup starts all the teams are busy with the ODI series and before the T20 World Cup every team is definitely busy with the T20 series. Although T20 World Cup is ahead and every team is more busy with T20 series, but they will not completely forget the Test game. Of course, if they play five T20 series, they must play one Test series. The full series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka has consisted of three T20I, three ODIs and two Test matches.

The full series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is over but both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will focus more on the T20 series. As this year's T20 World Cup will be held with almost double the number of teams, this World Cup will surely be the center of attraction.

I can agree with you on the ODI and T20 World Cups. Most of the teams focus on respective formats when these tournaments are near. But I don't agree on the World Test Championship. It is spread out across three years and none of the teams outside the pig-4 take it seriously. Test format is a costly affair for the full member nations. It doesn't bring any revenue, and it actually impacts the revenue earning capability by eating up the calendar and getting players injured with the heavy workload.

Yes , you are right. Pakistani International test cricket team is not able to fight again pig-4 or top class teams. Pakistani International test cricket team played very in bad in couple of years. No captain is taking the responsibility of test team.
I remember, Pakistani International test cricket team was an outclass at the time of Misba ul Haq. Misba ul Haq is a legend and in his captaincy Pakistani International test cricket team made many records. But now Pakistani International test cricket team is not enough strong to beat India , Australia , South Africa and England. Pakistani selectors are picking the players on references and they are not looking for talent .

Yes you are right they have not been playing as well as they did when Misbah ul Haq was captain. Misbah led team to success and broke records. But now team is struggling against top teams like India Australia South Africa and England. One problem is that team captains are not being held accountable for their performance. Without strong leader we know that it is hard for team to compete at high level. To get back to their former success Pakistan need to make big changes to how they manage team and choose players. They should focus on picking players based on merit and making sure they feel proud to represent their country. But being a Pakistani I know corruption is everywhere. So I don't think so they select the players on merit base.

Biggest issue in Pakistani cricket and sports is poor management we have no professional peoples those can handle this all just because of this Pakistan is now having no hopes of quality sports in country with things are going from bad to worse political influence and personal egos are also having serious troubles merit policy is zero few months back in Asian Games we have tennis players those lost without having any point due to both were over 40+ just imagine how things are going.
Cricket is only sport which is having something to cheer but sadly due to Indian influence in ICC this is also going down as no big team is coming in Pakistan, and they are also having no power to attract teams with quality players, so things are not positive even Pakistan is good in test format but due to internal issues and lack of leadership now things are going down without having any positive hope of rise.

You are right I agree with you because the current state of play of the Pakistan team will be partly responsible for the political situation in the place. We all more or less know how the political situation in Pakistan is, their political situation has affected the players due to which the players are not performing so well through various professions. As the political situation in Pakistan worsens, it is not expected that the playing condition of Pakistani cricket will improve much as many criticize that even the Pakistani players are not being paid properly. If a players is not paid on time then surely the attention of that player will be less for the game so going to the Pakistan players should be well supported so that they can play impartially.

This section is going to be silent for a while. For the next 3-4 moths, most of the teams will be busy preparing for the T20 world cup. Next test series is scheduled to begin by 10th July, when England will host West Indies for a 3-match series. We can expect some quite one-sided matches, as the English pace battery of James Anderson, Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes and Ollie Robinson will be up against the out of form West Indian batsmen.

that's true. Haven't found any upcoming test within some short days. Maybe some Test will take place a month later but international match needs time to held. Now Most of team busy with t20 but i can see people are still discussing about last test of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka . The interesting fact was, i haven't found Sri Lanka to troll back bangladesh team or no major winning celebration was done after the archivement of great victory ever. Maybe this time they thought, they don't need to response or react for their winning. Their performance was best reply and revenge for Bangladesh team.

Well, how about each of the Pig-4 teams to allow a test series with Pakistan? Believe me, while Pakistan is not in the Pig 4, but the test matches like Australia vs Pakistan, England vs Pakistan and even India vs Pakistan (if it can ever happen) can create more hype and interest than the pig-4 playing with themselves only on a test match level.
I do not say that Pakistan will win these test series but it will create more interest and entertainment among cricket viewers worldwide.

Anyways, I will also suggest having more test matches between the weaker teams too to keep the matches competitive and also to keep the test match format alive.

At one time under the leadership of Babar Azam we saw that Pakistan team did quite well in Test ODI and T20 formats and in our all ranking Pakistan was between one and three in these three formats but now Pakistan's performance in all three formats has deteriorated considerably. He was relieved of the captaincy due to the poor performance of the Pakistan team under the leadership of Babar Azam in the last World Cup and now he is only a batsman in the Pakistan team but he does not perform the duties of the captain.

A captain is of immense importance in managing a team properly. The players who are captaining instead of Babar Azam may not be able to perform their duties properly and also the batsmen and bowlers who are there may not be able to play with responsibility due to which the performance is like this. But the Pakistan team should be given some time and they will recover.

I don't have an issue with pig-4 playing against Pakistan and South Africa. These two teams are actually good in test cricket, and at the same time they have a proper 4-day domestic setup. That can't be said for teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, who doesn't even have a proper 4-day domestic competition. But then, India hasn't played against Pakistan in test cricket for almost two decades now. It takes away a lot of the excitement in test cricket. Hopefully the situation will change for the better.

Once in a while, we get huge upsets, such as the win by West Indies against Australia. But nowadays, the gap between pig-4 and the rest of the teams have widened. Given this, there is no logic in organizing matches between pig-4 and weak teams such as West Indies/Bangladesh. It will further erode the popularity of test cricket. Only 5-6 teams are capable of playing test cricket at the moment. Let's limit test cricket to these teams. For others, playing 2-3 matches per year is going to be more than enough.

We need changes in this format with few teams needed to be stopped against top teams because this is completely boring time for the fans while they are waiting for this format, but few are still expecting we can have upset like we have from the West indies in last test match of the series.
No doubt things are clearly favorable for the England at home as their pace battery is doing good with the advantage of home conditions and West Indies in on rebuild with most chances It's going to be not easy for them to have good results in every series but if we have some good work from ICC as they bring 2 tiers then we can expect better results and entertainment for the test lovers.

The performance of Bangladeshi International test cricket team is not good. They should work on their weaknesses. Otherwise ,they cannot achieve good position in points table of test format. They are not performing good in all formats. But I am very surprised to see Bangladeshi International test cricket team with no power. In last two years , they didn't play well in all formats. But before 5 years Bangladeshi International cricket team was very strong and they won matches against big teams.They won series against Pakistan and South Africa. That was good achievement.

Yeh I think due to lack of experience player they unable to divert results in thier favour no doubt they have plenty of experience high quality player who has achieved name through out the cricket world but as soon as he retired thier team unable to fill his place, but I think there is huge mistake of thier management committee who has not able to get talent despite having dozen of young star but according to some Bangladeshi local that there is huge corruption in BCB and despite of giving opportunity to Young talent they give opportunity to those who had some kind of reference or source. Anyway it's thier personal matter but the things is they should work on his team because in upcoming ICC competition they will face huge huge trouble to qualify for next round of the tournament

Yes ,you are right. ICC tournaments are more tougher than any series. In ICC tournament,they will be top class teams of the World. But in my opinion, Bangladeshi International ODI or T20 cricket team is not able to win against big teams like India and Australia. Bangladeshi Cricket Board will not solve the problem and Bangladeshi International cricket team will be in trouble in ICC tournaments because no player is performing good. No player is playing for his country and there is no mutual partnership between players. So , there are no chances of Bangladeshi International cricket team to qualify for semi final in ICC tournament.

l agree with you. Sri Lankan team is playing very well and they are looking in good form . They will get good rank as expected. Sri Lankan International test cricket team is leading by 2-0.In last match , Sri Lankan International test cricket team won the match by 192 runs. Kamindu Mandis was awarded as player of the series who played excellent in whole the series. Kamindu Mendis was also given player of match because he remained prominent in whole the match. He gave all round performance.Mendis is good player in the Sri Lankan team.

I agree with you about how well Sri Lankan cricket team was playing. They were doing great and now they have won the test matches series by 2-0. Kamindu Mendis has been outstanding in this series winning awards for his excellent performance. He is a valuable player for the team. I am excited to see how they do in future matches. Sri Lanka should be proud of their team and I hope they keep getting better. On the other hand Bangladesh need to focus on their mistakes which can be good for them for future. If they will eliminate mistakes so they will make a good comeback in coming matches with other teams.

You note that Sri Lankan team has won two series it is correct but the margin of victory is wide. I have rarely seen a game where Test matches are lost by such a wide margin. Bangladesh team has performed very badly, generally in terms of bowling and batting performance. Bangladesh team usually performs better than this in T20I and ODI matches, but I don't expect such a bad performance in Test matches.

The performance of Bangladeshi International test cricket team is not good. They should work on their weaknesses. Otherwise ,they cannot achieve good position in points table of test format.

But before 5 years Bangladeshi International cricket team was very strong and they won matches against big teams.They won series against Pakistan and South Africa. That was good achievement.

Bangladesh has always been weak in the five-day game. Bangladesh got test recognition a long time ago. From the time when Bangladesh received Test recognition till now, there has been no significant success in Test cricket in Bangladesh. In contrast to Bangladesh if we look at Afghanistan they got Test playing recognition only a few years ago and these few years back they proved themselves as a team capable of playing Tests. Bangladesh team definitely has good quality coaches and good quality players and regularly hosts various domestic leagues in Bangladesh but still Bangladesh's performance is always poor especially in test format. Those who are selectors or head coaches must take this issue seriously. Maybe the popularity of test cricket is not so much but test is one of the most important format of cricket.

If any team wants a consistent performance in all three formats of cricket, they should dominate and start to win the test matches. It is usually seen that the teams that are strong in test cricket, they will usually do good in all three formats of cricket.

However, if a team has only a hitter and can play limited over cricket better, their performance won't be sustainable. Examples of such teams are West Indies or Pakistan, where these teams win the matches by chance and lose the majority of the match because of low-performing batsmen and bowlers who lack the test match playing expertise.
In short, teams need to focus on test cricket and they should take test matches seriously as those are building blocks of the team and it will help them in shorter formats too.

2016 and 2017 were memorable years in Bangladesh cricket, Bangladesh won the most matches in those two years. Since then, Bangladesh has not been able to maintain their winning streak, but Bangladesh has always played better cricket in the ODI format compared to other formats. I think one of the reasons why the Bangladesh team gave such a bad performance in the Test matches is that Tests are not practiced in that way in their team or in their country.

If we look at India we can see how much importance they give to Tests which is why they host important Test tournaments like Ranji Trophy in their country.From where every year new talented test experienced batsmen and bowlers are produced. If such Test competitive tournaments are organized in Bangladesh like them then maybe the Test format of Bangladesh can improve.

Right Bangladeshi Cricket Board should focus on test cricket because test cricket is main cricket. Bangladeshi Cricket Board did not change the squad for test matches and they picked the players on basis of players performance in ODI matches. Bangladeshi Cricket Board should establish test cricket tournaments . In this way, youngesters will come in the market and seniors should check their patience level because in test format patience matters a lot .

Sri Lankan International test cricket team won the series very easily because of their patience level. They focus on their goal . I am not fan of Sri Lankan International test cricket team because they always lose matches against big teams like India and Australia.

They are not performing good in all formats. But I am very surprised to see Bangladeshi International test cricket team with no power. In last two years , they didn't play well in all formats. But before 5 years Bangladeshi International cricket team was very strong and they won matches against big teams.They won series against Pakistan and South Africa. That was good achievement.

2016 and 2017 were memorable years in Bangladesh cricket, Bangladesh won the most matches in those two years. Since then, Bangladesh has not been able to maintain their winning streak, but Bangladesh has always played better cricket in the ODI format compared to other formats. I think one of the reasons why the Bangladesh team gave such a bad performance in the Test matches is that Tests are not practiced in that way in their team or in their country.

If we look at India we can see how much importance they give to Tests which is why they host important Test tournaments like Ranji Trophy in their country.From where every year new talented test experienced batsmen and bowlers are produced. If such Test competitive tournaments are organized in Bangladesh like them then maybe the Test format of Bangladesh can improve.

This section is going to be silent for a while. For the next 3-4 moths, most of the teams will be busy preparing for the T20 world cup. Next test series is scheduled to begin by 10th July, when England will host West Indies for a 3-match series. We can expect some quite one-sided matches, as the English pace battery of James Anderson, Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes and Ollie Robinson will be up against the out of form West Indian batsmen.

l agree with you. Sri Lankan team is playing very well and they are looking in good form . They will get good rank as expected. Sri Lankan International test cricket team is leading by 2-0.In last match , Sri Lankan International test cricket team won the match by 192 runs. Kamindu Mandis was awarded as player of the series who played excellent in whole the series. Kamindu Mendis was also given player of match because he remained prominent in whole the match. He gave all round performance.Mendis is good player in the Sri Lankan team.

I agree with you about how well Sri Lankan cricket team was playing. They were doing great and now they have won the test matches series by 2-0. Kamindu Mendis has been outstanding in this series winning awards for his excellent performance. He is a valuable player for the team. I am excited to see how they do in future matches. Sri Lanka should be proud of their team and I hope they keep getting better. On the other hand Bangladesh need to focus on their mistakes which can be good for them for future. If they will eliminate mistakes so they will make a good comeback in coming matches with other teams.

You note that Sri Lankan team has won two series it is correct but the margin of victory is wide. I have rarely seen a game where Test matches are lost by such a wide margin. Bangladesh team has performed very badly, generally in terms of bowling and batting performance. Bangladesh team usually performs better than this in T20I and ODI matches, but I don't expect such a bad performance in Test matches.
