Cricket Australia chief warns some countries risk going bust by playing Tests

Cricket Australia's CEO, Todd Greenberg, warns that some countries risk going bankrupt by playing Test cricket. He believes that the future will see fewer Test nations, as the longest format of the game is becoming unsustainable for certain countries. Greenberg suggests that "scarcity in Test cricket is our friend, not our foe," implying that limiting the number of Test teams could benefit the sport. The article also mentions the possibility of reviving winter Tests in Darwin and Cairns, suggesting a potential shift in Australia's cricketing landscape. Greenberg's remarks highlight the financial challenges facing some nations in maintaining a robust Test cricket program, and his vision for a more streamlined and sustainable future for the longest format of the game.
