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

#1 May not get support from all Test-playing nations

South Africa and Zimbabwe will compete in the first ever 4 day Test

Innovation is the need of the hour on international cricket and when the concept of day night Tests was introduced, it was supported by one and all. It was for betterment of the game and to attract more and more people to watch Test cricket in the age of T 20 cricket.

However, the 4 day Test concept will basically kill the real charm of Test cricket. Though South Africa and Zimbabwe have taken the step forward to play a 4-day Test, it will be interesting to see if other teams follow their footsteps.

In all likelihood, the concept of 4 day Test will have to be rethought by ICC, as one cannot imagine a Ashes Test or a Test between India and England or India and Australia being a 4-day affair.

Sometimes, traditions do play a huge part and it will be interesting to see if any, or all of the nations agree to such a huge change to the longest format of the game.
