Young cricketers are not interested in the test?

Shakib Al Hasan took part in the annual meeting of the Maryland Cricket Club (MCC) in Sydney two days ago. Ricky Ponting, who has told the media citing the statement made by Bangladesh Test and Twenty captain in the meeting, said that it was an international snapshot for international cricket.

Former Australian captain said that Shakib has presented a solid reality of Bangladesh cricket in the meeting. The World allrounder said in the meeting that many young cricketers of Bangladesh do not see Test cricket as their target and because of the opportunity to earn more than T-20s. Participants in the MCC meeting expressed fear that the 20-over cricket becomes more important to the youngsters, not just the test, but the importance of international cricket will be reduced to many countries.

Really young players of Bangladesh do not feel very attracted to Test cricket? The answer to the question is the Prothom-alo. In front of the tri-series and Sri Lanka's Test and one-day series, the BCB, the primary team of 32 people who had given the primary team last month, asked the first light of the 9 young players who were there, what version of the game do they like to play in more interest or any version? Although not speaking of T20 in the north, too many players have not expressed interest in the Test. No one is publishing the first light of any of these cricketers for the sake of reason.

Only one of the young players said that he was interested in the Test, "Test is the total cricket. It has Test, One Day and T-Twenty all. The full taste of cricket is available in the only test. "Another said, three versions of cricket are his equal favorite. The rest of the seven said, they have more interest in the ODIs. But both of them one-day and Twenty-two feels good. His argument, 'Our Test team did not improve in that way. But the ODI and T20 teams are world-class. Young players like us are more interested in these two versions. "

One pacer said, "Why do not have the option of big-length cricket for learning. But it takes more fun to play one-day internationals. You get all of the one-day matches. New balls, old balls, how to bowl in the middle of the innings or in the slog-dead overs, all are known in ODIs. The result of the match is also found. There is nothing to learn in T-20. "Another young batsman said," Test is a game of dignity. But more fun than ODIs.

There is still no reason why youngsters in Bangladesh might not be in the Twenty20 ranking list because they do not have the opportunity to play in the franchise league too much. Bangladeshi youngsters in Bangladesh do not get much opportunity in other league out of BPL. A pacer's argument behind the widespread interest of one-dayers, 'Dhaka Premier League, 1st and 2nd Division, Third Division Cricket 50 overs. Over 50-over cricket is also at district-divisional level. Most importantly Bangladesh plays one-day internationals. Our achievements in this version are more. A young player wants to do better in this version. There will be more interest in the opportunity to succeed. '

There is less interest in T-Twenty or more interest in the ODIs - one thing is clear, most young players do not have a number on the list of favorites, big-length cricket. Experts say, for financial reasons, interest in high-quality cricket is low. Former captain of the Bangladesh team said, "Our cricketers tend to have more interest in limited-over cricket. But if we can not do well in long-term cricket, then we can not do well in limited-overs cricket. More money in limited-overs cricket If you do not pay the fees in big-length cricket, the interest in this version will be reduced to young cricketers. Although we played first-class cricket in the money market. But in the era of franchisee league, if you pay less, it will naturally fall in the interest of the players.
