Just heart broken from the last WTC final.. Rohit and companions just lost in final
Why Bangladesh has no matches with Australia and England in upcoming WTC
Every team is playing with 6 opponents
Apart from WTC will those teams will play anyother test matches
Dont think so..
We will miss lot of legends who will retire during next WTC
Team Like Afganistan and Scotland shoul get the chance to perticipate in WTC or how they will grow if they dont play against big teams
I completely agree with you
ICC should put more focus on Test matches by arranging so many compettive event because Test match is losing its pride day by day speciall for T20 and T10 or 100 Blast
What a true statement…Test match is the best to know the strength of a player
Afghanistan, Zimbabwe should have also get the chance to perticipate
No, they should rest for now, especially Zimbabwe
