SYDNEY - Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon says he is totally against the idea of tinkering with the duration of five-day test matches and hopes the proposal to shorten the game’s longest format is not even considered by administrators.
Australia have said they will seriously consider the concept, while England will back making it mandatory from 2023. The cash-rich Indian board are yet to declare their stance on the matter. “One, there’s the weather element. But the wickets these days are probably a lot flatter than they have been in the past, so it allows teams to bat longer and to put pressure on sides ... you need time for the pitch to deteriorate and bring spinners in more on day five as well.Four-day matches were given the green light by the ICC in 2017, when South Africa hosted one against Zimbabwe, while England played a four-day test against Ireland last July.
