NEW FORMS OF CRICKET :KILLING TALENTED PLAYERS
ARVIND K.PANDEY
One should not ignore the fact that cricket is fast losing its charm as a game which allowed the players to showcase skills associated with legendary players . It's now turned into pure entertainment , ensuring big sums of money for both the coprporate giants as well as the players. Definitely , time constraints or , for that matter, limitations forced by the modern times cannot be ignored but that should not come at the cost of the better aspects of game . No wonder really talented batsmen like Dravid and Tendulkar would become a thing of past if commercialisation is allowed to dictate the game .In other words , ICC should ensure that sanctity of test matches and one dayers should remain intact .Anyway, it has always been the case that superstars who play well in one dayers fell like pack of cards in test matches -something which demand refined skills not just the abilty to hit sixes and fours !
