Edulji, Rangaswamy prefer 'four-day' Tests but want BCCI to restart red ball cricket

The Hindu  

Australia head coach Matthew Mott reiterated his call for five-day Test in women's cricket but former India captains Diana Edulji and Shantha Rangaswamy are among the ones who prefer status quo and instead want resumption of red-ball cricket in domestic cricket. Anyway, you are allowed 100 overs in a day which makes 400 overs for the game, only 50 less than the men's game," Edulji told PTI. BCCI and Jay Shah must be congratulated here for resuming Tests for women and it is likely to be regular feature in our series with England and Australia going forward," said Shantha, who is also a member of BCCI Apex Council and former chief selector. Also, it would be ideal if red ball cricket is restarted for the players to get used to the multi-day format," she added.
