After England star Moeen Ali claimed that ODI cricket could die "in a couple of years" because the current schedule is "not sustainable", Azeem Rafiq has warned the "same conversation will be happening about Test cricket" soon.
Ben Stokes recently retired from ODIs and labelled the schedule "unsustainable", while several other top stars have voiced their concerns over its future. Australia's Usman Khawaja believes the format is "dying a slow death", while India's Ravi Ashwin feels it has lost its "relevance".
And Moeen has become the latest to issue a stark warning, saying: "It's all over the place at the minute. "You're trying to get a couple of franchise gigs which are decent, but you're going to miss a couple of Test matches or the ODIs - that's the horrible bit, I think, because you want to play for England as much as you can. You don't want to be missing… I used to hate resting when I was a bit younger.
