Former England captain Michael von It is said that the ICC should make separate windows, which are spread throughout the season, to keep the format relevant for a long time.London: Michael Vaughan does not like to speak about his son Archie, who is playing for England against N -19 of India here in England. But he is on peace with a younger generation approach to test cricket. Vaughan spoke to TOI on modern-day Test batting and how the format could be relevant. Part …Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe now!Has the batting textbook changed for tests?Yes, for better. This is an incredible era for the game. Test cricket is higher than a spectacle. I love for two levels for this, until the money of the game spreads evenly throughout the board.I want more results at every Test match and every series, not only the Big Ashes Series, The Big Series Against India or India-Australia.
This generation is placed on a white-ball franchise cricket. How do you see that affected Test cricket?We have been talking about saving Test cricket for 30-40 years now. Test cricket is always around. It is just about making more testing cricket of a spectacle. The World Test Championship Final was excellent. How can we regularly get more than such opportunities?How can we give broadcaster more about a story around the Test game? This is just a little sporadic for me. It has also spread.You are never certain who is playing. I will prefer small windows around the year when everyone plays Test cricket at just one time.The best players still have the best techniques at the test level. Shubman Gill, Joe Root, Yashsvi Jaiswal, Harry Brook, Rishabh Pant and Jamie Smith are sometimes fiery, but fundamentally they know how to protect. We should talk to them. I hope that the next generation is being taught that, ‘Yes, you have got to play shots, but you are able to defend the ball’.Gill, in the first two matches, has given a masterclass on how to play Test cricket. So far during the test career of the pants, he is able to live because he has got good rescue. I hope that the next generation of the coach is not just about the attack.
Can do itBazbalCan be misunderstood at the level of age group?‘Bajball’ has been very good for the game. When England is playing well, they play with a little meaning. The chase in Leeds was very intelligent. But what they are doing, they are playing on good pitches so that they can play this huge game.When he first started, he was dancing and trying to launch it in all parts. Now they are playing only good cricket shots. He is slightly exposed by India. But this is the way to play.Australia played in detail in the 1990s and West Indies in the 1980s. The best teams in any game play aggressively and try and try to dominate their front legs. This is trying to do England. They need to lift a major trophy or two. If the India series and the Ashes do not run well this year, the fingers will be indicated.When you talk to young children, do you think they understand the importance of the Ashes series or also test cricket?People forget that these days these children are watching more cricket. In our time it was only on TV. You did not have a tablet, you had no phones to be able to see all clips and all highlights and all favorite shows. I do not think children know what newspapers are, they know what digital materials are.The distribution of sports money is very important. The pitch in two Tests in Barbados and Granada was not quite good. This is because they do not have funds that we have in the UK or in India or Australia. To really grow for the game, we need these two levels.You need results in the game and you have to know that if you are regularly unsuccessful, you are going to be in Tier Two.
What if players from some countries do not care about the format?I think they will care if we make test products in small winners in small windows. I am a big lawyer to play more Test cricket here in the UK. Why can’t we host the series here? We have a test-lover nation, we have great grounds and if facilities are not good abroad, then why can’t we give more test cricket here in UK for other countries?Then how do you regularize WTC?I will make it very simple. We should currently test cricket here for a short period in English summer or Caribbean. And then the Test tour should have a subcontinent leg and the Test tour should have a southern hemisphere leg.
