New England cricket boss calls for four-day Tests
Incoming England cricket chief Colin Graves wants to see Test matches played over four days.
The England and Wales Cricket Board chairman, who takes over the role on May 15, told the MCC's lords.org website: "Personally, I think we should look at four-day Test cricket and play 105 overs a day starting at 10.30 in the morning, and finish when you finish as all the grounds now have lights," he said.
"Every Test match would start on a Thursday, with Thursday and Friday being corporate days and then Saturday and Sunday the family days.
"From a cost point of view you'd lose that fifth day, which would save a hell of a lot of money from the ground's point of view and the broadcasters. I would look at that. In reality, there's not many people who turn up and watch it on the fifth day."
