Indians don’t watch test cricket – Ina Botham

The twitter user uploaded a pic on the social media platform. In the pic, several individuals have lined-up outside the ticket centre to grab tickets for the match. He also gave a cheeky caption on the post which is grabbing a lot of attention on Twitter.
Earlier, Ian Botham had questioned India for reducing popularity of Test cricket among players and fans. He feels the money coming from the Indian Premier League (IPL) is good news. However, he is unhappy with the status of five-day cricket in the sub-continent country.
The cash rich league is the most popular T20 tournament in the world. The success of IPL has led to the introduction of many such leagues in other parts of the world. Many players have retired from international cricket for the sake of slam-bang competitions.
“Indians don’t watch Test cricket as their interest is in the Indian Premier League. The cricket board over there is making a lot of money through IPL. Test cricket has been around for 100 years and it is not going anywhere,” Botham said earlier. “And if we lose Test cricket, then we will lose cricket as well. This sport will become meaningless. Every player should play Test cricket,” he added.
