Gautam Gambhir Advocates For Three-Match Test Series Format
· Sports · ESPNCricinfo, Times of India
India men's head coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed a preference for Test series to consist of at least three matches. He stated that a three-match structure provides the losing team in the opening game a realistic opportunity to recover and win the series. Currently, many Test series are limited to two matches, which Gambhir suggests leaves little margin for error. The coach's comments follow discussions regarding the future structure of the World Test Championship and international cricket scheduling.
