I know many people are on the T20 bandwagon and feel Test cricket should be allowed to die a slow death, but I'm sure the majority still realise that it's the best form of the game and produces cricketers of the highest quality.
That said, what should the PCB be doing to ensure young players coming through actually WANT to play Tests?
An idea I have always though would work relates to the contracts which were announced yesterday. I feel that any player that regularly plays Test cricket should never be awarded lower than a category B contract. In addition, any player that does not play Tests should never be awarded higher than a category B contract.
This would be a nice, clean, simple way for the PCB to show that Test cricket is the number 1 priority, and that players will be rewarded for committing to the toughest form of the game.
