Brendon McCullum reckons the art of fun is the secret to making Test cricket great again as it competes with the march of the white-ball revolution.
There have been more than 60 English cricketers taking up lucrative T20 deals and plying their trade in overseas leagues this winter and after doing the sums, some have even chosen those leagues over the national side.
And while the financial benefits are clearly at the heart of this debate for many with families to consider, McCullum’s aim is to make playing Test cricket for England so much fun, that the players are falling over themselves to get involved.
