As we know there is talk on how we can save test cricket from demolish so here is my view as an cricket fan and my love towards the game as I want the game of cricket to grow world wide but also by maintain its quality. Cricket can be spread worldwide with the t20 format but to strength cricket it is important for the members of cricket boards to do something to create an atmosphere where people can really start having an interest in test cricket. Icc test championship is really good for the revival of test cricket but the current design of the tournament is really very much failure and rubbish. If icc really want the pure form of Cricket which is test cricket to be in limelight then they have to be loyal and desicipline. The cricketing board have to come forwade to help icc especially BCCI, ECB and CA. The powerhouse of cricket has to do their part in revival of test cricket.
As per my view, There should be top 8 team taking participation in the championship and every team should play each team once in the tournament from which top 2 teams with most points will play the finale. There will be 29 matches total including the final which will take approximately 5 months. So it will be long tournament and it may take lot of sacrifice mainly from the BCCI, ECB and CA but they have to do this for the betterment of cricket. This three boards have to take some financial hit for goodness of the game of cricket.
As 5 months is long period and we all seeing that test cricket is still alive in England and Australia in attendance perspective so it will be safe and make sense to start the tournament in the summers of the specific country. For example if test championship held in England then it should start at July and end at november and if test championship held in Australia then it should start at October and end at February. The starting few seasons should be held only in this two countries and then as per the requirement and results opportunity should be given to other member to host the championship in future.
The domestic t20 tournament of respective country australia or England have to do an sacrifice for the sake to organising test champion ship on their soil for that respective year of the championship. They can held their domestic t20 tournament before or after this test championship. As test championship will happen in every four year cycle so it will be difficult but not impossible for the success of the championship. Icc should market the test championship with full potential so that it will catch an eyeballs of cricket loving people. It will take a lot effort from icc and every board member but for the sake of game they have to take this situation as an opportunity and work on this as soon as possible.
