The International Cricket Council (ICC) after the change in the rule in all three formats recently, and now they announced about four-day test match instead of five days. ICC on Friday approved four-day Tests on a trial basis. The decision effectively gave the green flag to the Boxing Day Test between hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe from December 26-29 this year.
The first-ever four-day Test, to be played between South Africa and Zimbabwe, will be played with the pink-ball and under lights. However, the experiment has attracted criticism from the likes of South African captain Faf du Plessis. He recently said that he remains a fan of five-day games. But practice match is of four-day test which hardly gives any result. "I am a fan of five-day Test cricket," du Plessis had said earlier in the month. "I believe the great Test matches have gone to the last hour of the last day on day five. That's what is so special about Test cricket. In four-day cricket or first-class cricket, it does feel easier because there are only four days.
ICC bring all new and update change to the most admirable game known as Cricket. ICC with the new rule which comes into forced on 28th September of this year. And introduce the test championship and ODI league to emerge new talent team and give cricket more chance’s to grow. Hope this four-day test will be more exciting as Test and limited overs.
