Australia batting great Ricky Ponting on Sunday opposed ICC’s plans to make Test cricket a four-day affair, saying he is not keen on changing “something that’s not really badly broken”.

The ICC is considering introducing four-day Tests during the next FTP cycle between 2023-2031 in order to get more free days for the commercially lucrative shorter formats, an idea which was supported, among others, by Cricket Australia CEO Kevin Roberts.

“I’m against it but I’d like to hear from the people who are pushing it what the major reason is,” Ponting told cricket.com.au.

The former Australian skipper felt that four-day Tests might lead to more draws.

“I know we’ve had a lot of four-day games in the last couple of years, but what I’ve noticed in the last decade is how many drawn Test matches there have been, and I just wonder if they had have been all four-day Test matches through that period of time, we would have had more drawn games.”
