Sunil Gavaskar: White-ball performances should not blind us to the deficiencies in Test cricket

The Hindu  

What a pleasure it was to be at the start of the celebrations of the Golden Jubilee of the Wankhede Stadium. These need to be addressed too, as the new cycle for the World Test Championship final begins with the five-Test match series against England from mid-June. Travel in England is by road almost every time, and the India team will drive down to the next Test venue on the last evening of the previous Test match. Since there won’t be a travel day involved, giving the next day off after the Test is understandable, but the next couple should be used for practice. Indian cricket has depth, or so we are told, and hopefully, that will be seen in England, where a new India can show they are ready to take on the world.
