4 reasons why a 4-day Test may not be a feasible option

#2 The prospect of more draws

Weather will play a huge part in the game

Another aspect which needs to be taken into account is whether 4 days are enough to produce a result in Test cricket. A majority of Test matches get interrupted due to rain or bad light or any other natural phenomenon. The ICC will need to consider as to how lost time will be made up in such situations.

The only solution to this issue seems to be that the 4-day Test will be a day night Test. However, a day-night Test will be a cause of concern in the sub continent where dew plays a vital factor.

All these issues need to be addressed by ICC before giving a go ahead to more 4-day Test matches in the future.
