Graeme Smith predicts Test Cricket to be confined to big cricketing nations

South Africa will play fewer red-matches in next FTP cycle (Twitter)

The former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith has reckoned that only five-six cricketing nations will take Test Cricket forward in the coming years. 

The newly appointed Cricket South Africa's T20 league commissioner thinks gone are the days, which witnessed 10-12 teams taking an active interest in the red-ball format. 

Further, Smith complimented Virat Kohli for providing fuel to the Indian team to excel in the purest format. 

He also added that Proteas doesn't have any intention to play enough Test cricket, which hinted at the team slated to play fewer Test matches in the next FTP cycle (2023-27) as compared to the current one (2019-23).
