Plea for more Tests


AHMEDABAD: Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara joined Indian great Sachin Tendulkar in calling for more Test cricket, saying the lop-sided schedule needed to be changed. “It’s really a shame that we are being deprived of Test cricket,” Sangakkara said. “The young guys in our side are desperate to perform at the highest level, and that means Test cricket. They are just not getting enough of it.” He said there was no point in talking of a proposed world Test championship till each of the nine Test nations got to play more Tests.
