Former Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum believes Twenty20 cricket will survive test cricket

Former Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum believes Twenty20 cricket will survive test cricket

14 May 2018

In an interview with renowned cricket site ESPN Cricinfo, McCullum says test cricket won't be around in time, because there's only so many teams that can afford to play it.

He adds he's a realist in that people are watching far more T20 cricket than the longer forms.

McCullum says unfortunately, people no longer have the time to commit to test cricket.

Brendon McCullum hung up his whites in 2016, and holds the record for the fastest ever test hundred.

He's since played in various T20 leagues around the world.
