BCB chief Nazmul Hasan, the BCB directors, former and current Bangladesh cricket team captains and the Bangladesh women cricketers were also present. Regarding this much talked about issue, Manohar said, “We are trying to see whether Test championship can generate interest, because Test cricket is actually dying to be honest. The board directors came to a conclusion that if we start a Test championship, it would keep Test cricket alive and generate more interest in the game.
