If you look at cricket per se, if you didn't have T20 cricket, Test cricket will die. People don't realise. You just play Test cricket, and don't play one-day cricket and T20 cricket, and speak to me after 10 years. The economics will just not allow the game to survive.

Ravi Shastri

If you are going to raise youngsters for Test cricket that don't have the experience, you can't stick them into T20. You've got to teach them first how to play Test cricket, and when they're good enough for Test cricket and if they want to play both formats, then they can.

Garfield Sobers

There are fans of Twenty20 cricket, and we need to ensure that we give them the cricket they want to see. We need to keep Test cricket alive, because there is a section of fans who love and worship Test cricket and have basically helped this game grow, and they are as important as anybody else.

Rahul Dravid

Test cricket is not easy. If you haven't played first-class cricket for five years, then your muscles aren't used to bowling for that long.

Wasim Akram

Test cricket is a different sort of cricket altogether. Some players who are good for one-day cricket may be a handicap in a Test match.

Kapil Dev

Test cricket is still important, so are ODIs, but T20 should be there too because of the crowd factor.

Brian Lara

Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play, especially Test cricket.

AB de Villiers

From a spectator point of view, Test cricket is not important; people hardly watch Test cricket. But as a player, Tests are the real thing. You have to concentrate for five days. It's a lot of time, and not easy to do it day in and day out. If people have played 70-100 Tests, it's a lot of cricket, a lot of concentration and dedication.

Yuvraj Singh

I think T20 cricket has become the flagship spectacle for women's cricket.

Isa Guha

Twenty20 is must for cricket. Without T20, cricket cannot survive.

Sourav Ganguly

International cricket and Test cricket in particular is hard and you are going to get injuries but, if you've got a strong pool of players to pick from who can all come in and do a job, well that can only be a good thing for English cricket.

Stuart Broad

My biggest concern is that Test cricket and Twenty20 cricket are competing too much. They should be complementing each other and the more they clash the more damaging it will be for cricket.

Andrew Strauss

I respect Test cricket a lot. Once I got into the Test team, I learnt so much about international cricket and realised it's not so different.

K. L. Rahul

You need different skills to do well in 50-overs cricket. You need completely different skills to do well in Test cricket. You need different skills to do well in T20 cricket. It is not the same.

Gautam Gambhir

Alex Hales has tightened up his game from South Africa and learned about Test cricket. It's great when you see someone who doesn't quite nail it, but goes away and works away at it, come back a person who understands more about Test cricket.
