West Indian batting legend Brian Lara is not worried about the duration of Test matches as long as they are giving results. Lara holds the record for the highest individual score in Tests (400 not out) and also said that the Day/Night Tests were an “attraction” but the longest format of the game is not popular.

While he was asked about this, Lara told PTI, “My only (thing) from Test cricket is that everyone that watches cricket knows the game is going to end in a result, that in itself will peak in interest. If it is five days, four days, it doesn’t matter. If every game is going to end in a result in some way or some form, I think the interest is going to be created on the first day, on the last day, as long as people know that.”

Brian Lara, who is leading the West Indies Legends in the Road Safety World Series, told this during a training session. another batting legend Sachin Tendulkar and India skipper Virat Kohli have openly spoken about in support of having five-day Tests as well.

“You listen to (an) American talk, that is something we hear always, you play for five days and sometimes you don’t have a winner, that could be a little bit of (an issue). A winner in every game should be possible,” he added.

“I think it (Day/Night Tests) is an attraction, but I don’t think it is a way forward (for) the game. I don’t think that’s going to bring anybody back. I think it (Test cricket) is something that has gone away from couple of generations and we need to get it back from a very early age. May be the ICC or Governing Body is shifting towards T20, may be little bit less concerned about Test cricket, but that is their modus operandi and I have no clue. I just know for me when you see a good Test match it is very special,” Brian Lara concluded.
