‘Damage caused by franchise cricket’

Stokes said, “Test cricket is talked about in a way that I do not like. With the advent of new formats and franchise cricket, it is losing its appeal. We understand that there are a lot of opportunities available to players away from Test cricket, but this is very important to me.

‘Test has to be made entertaining’

Stokes said “If we can put the results away from our mind, it will be a good start. Our focus should be on entertaining every day of the Test match. People should not know beforehand what is going to happen next in this game. If people have the curiosity to know what is going to happen next in a Test match, then we will have achieved our objective even before the ball is bowled.

Ben Stokes requested the ICC to do something different to make Test cricket attractive. “I love playing Test cricket and feel there is something to be done for it. Some people say that you are playing for England, that is enough but a lot remains to be done in this direction. You want that international cricket should be of the highest standard. We have seen that very different types of squads have been selected. Players were given rest. This is not the right way to run international cricket.
