Sri Lankan legendary batsmen Kumar Sangakkara has rejected the idea of four-day Test cricket, with the former Sri Lanka cricket captain stating that he has started to lose track of the many changes that have been introduced in the sport.

the 40-year-old to have all of that water down into four days is a bit of a blow, but I understand the whole importance of commercial viability and the economics of it. There is also tradition and history to consider. There have been so many changes over the last five or six years to cricket, even I am losing track.

But at the end of the day Test cricket has always been defined as five days. Records have been established, history has been made over five days. Sangakkara said the expansion of T20 cricket, with several countries staging their own tournaments, has broadened the scope for a player to make a future in cricket. Cricket has changed over the last few years, especially with franchise cricket coming in. Now there is a place for everyone. Not everyone will be able to play Test cricket and not everyone will be able to fit into a one-day or T20 side.
