Kumar Sangakkara, former Sri Lanka captain, believes that Test cricket is the No. 1 format and the players and officials have a big role to play in safeguarding the primacy of the format. In a chat with V V Subrahmanyam in Sportstar, Sangakkara says that Twenty20 format has its advantages too.
If someone is a good cricketer, he can be good in any format. But again, you have to strike a balance. Schedules are tight. See, India plays a lot of cricket — many teams will love to play so because of the financial benefits they get. Even Sri Lanka plays a lot at home and away. Whatever said and done, Test cricket is the ultimate form of cricket. That's why I believe there should be a minimum of three Tests in a series.
