The truth is finally being acknowledged; test cricket is in danger of dying. Heath Mills, the chief executive of the New Zealand Cricket Player's Association, spoke to Newstalk ZB's Tony Veitch and said the biggest problem is that test cricket lacks meaning. Similarly, he stated the fact that a player can earn more money playing three months of T20 cricket, than they can playing 12 months of international cricket. "Test cricket is the biggest cost to the sport at the moment," Mills said. "There'll be a test series between countries one year, then they'll play short-form the next, then there'll be three ODIs or seven ODIs or one test or three tests.
