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

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

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

No matter what, Test cricket will survive. I've always said Twenty20 would be popular but there will be a place for Test cricket.

Sourav Ganguly

Pressure is the biggest single factor in Test cricket.

Nasser Hussain

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

I always wanted to play Test cricket, but people have only seen me in first-class cricket. I was always confident that, whenever I get a chance, I would be able to do well.

Jasprit Bumrah

Test cricket is pretty much the same as first-class - know what your strengths are and stick to them.

Jofra Archer

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

The stats suggest that I'm not a dasher. It doesn't mean I can't play the shots, but when you find a method in four-day and Test cricket that works for you, you stick with it.

Alastair Cook

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

AB de Villiers

KL Rahul has the technique for all forms of the game and for me more Test cricket than anything else. And if he performs so well in T20s and the 50-overs game, I think Test cricket is really where he's made for.

Brian Lara

Since my international debut in 2014 the miles on the clock have probably crept up and Test cricket is the level where the pressure and scrutiny are greatest.

Moeen Ali

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.
