\u201cI always tell them you will get the greatest satisfaction is playing in Test cricket. Test cricket is the hardest form of the game. Nothing tests you like Test cricket. Over a period of five days, you are tested physically, mentally, technically, emotionally. So that\u2019s the challenge. I tell U-19 kids that if you want to be challenged to your then test cricket is what you should try and play,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t play Test cricket, there are other forms of the game, as well. I love T20 and ODI cricket. They are very skillful forms of the game.
