T20 cricket has gripped the entire cricket fraternity and has taken the world by a storm. With millions and billions of money invested in the various leagues, franchise owners and cricket boards have generated huge interest amongst the fans.
Much of credit should be given to IPL which started in 2008 and has been a revolution in cricket. Cricket has changed in the past ten years, and the credit should be given to IPL and other T20 leagues around the world.
Also, the popularity of T20 cricket has raised a huge question over the future of the longest format of the game, Test cricket.
Also, various players have opted to pursue their cricketing careers in the T20 format while very less are in support of red ball cricket.
However, one of the most lethal left-arm fast bowler in the current era, Trent Boult has raised his support for five-day cricket. He also said that he loves Test cricket more than the other two formats.
Boult has 200 Test wickets in 52 matches and is eagerly waiting for the first day-night Test match to be played in New Zealand from Thursday at the Eden Park.
Boult said:
“To be honest this is the part of the season I’ve looked forward to most. I love test cricket. Can’t wait. “
Moreover, the Test series against England will see two of the most effective fast bowling pair take centre stage with Anderson and Broad head-to-head against Tim Southee and Trent Boult.
Boult said that they have the experience to perform well in the series.
”I’m not going to sit here and say we’re looking to out-bowl either of those guys, but it is a big part of our season. Tim and I have played enough cricket together to know what is needed to make us bowl well. It’s something Tim and myself have been looking forward to.’‘
