Steve Waugh Criticizes ICC, BCCI and Cricket Boards Over Test Cricket

Former Australia captain, Steve Waugh, has criticized the ICC, BCCI, and other major cricket boards for not adequately supporting Test cricket. He pointed out that teams like South Africa, West Indies, Pakistan, and others have been naming weakened squads for Test matches, prioritizing their domestic T20 leagues. This criticism came after South Africa's decision to send a second-string squad for their Test series against New Zealand and forfeiting an ODI series in Australia last year due to commitments of their best players in the SA20 league. Waugh expressed concerns that this trend could impact major events and lead to the death of Test cricket, calling on the ICC and the boards to protect the legacy of the sport.
