Former England captain Michael Vaughan has called for Test cricket to be shortened to four days, citing the faster pace of modern games and the need to attract a broader audience. Vaughan believes the adjustment would align with the evolving nature of the format, where results are often achieved within three or four days.
Speaking to SEN Afternoons, Vaughan proposed a fixed Thursday-to-Sunday schedule for Test matches. "It'd start on a Thursday and finish on a Sunday," he said. "It would be easy for everyone to understand that Test cricket starts every Thursday and finishes on a Sunday... if it makes it to Sunday."
