‘T20 and Test cricket will progress side by side’ :- Ben Stokes on future of International Cricket.

Cricket has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, with the rapid rise of T20 cricket captivating audiences worldwide. While some fear that this popularity surge may lead to the decline of Test cricket, England Test captain Ben Stokes believes that both formats can thrive together in international cricket. As England prepares for a packed summer of Test cricket, including a one-off Test against Ireland and a highly anticipated five-match Ashes series against Australia, Stokes acknowledges the positive impact of T20 cricket in attracting new players and fans to the game.

Ben Stokes said “I see T20 and Test cricket being able to keep being successful and progress side by side. Look at what T20 has done for the game in general, the amount of attraction it’s brought – new fans, new players its brought into playing cricket regardless of the format and also what T20 has been able to bring in terms of Test cricket,”.
