"It’s quite interesting that we’ve got a Twenty20 World Cup in April next year in the West Indies and Team India don’t play one T20 game until that tournament starts. “Indian coach Gary Kirsten said.
"What should be happening is that we should be going on tour and playing six T20 games and one or two 50 over games. I think that’s going to happen – it’s just a matter of time.
Kirsten said: "The worrying side that I’m seeing is that a guy like Andrew Flinthoff as a high profile cricketer has now made the decision to leave Test cricket because he feels that he can get more longevity out of his body and earn a much more money by moving away from Test cricket and playing one day cricket and twenty20 cricket.
"He’s perfectly right in his decision. Why not?
"The one area that is concerning me about where Test cricket is going is that it’s a natural progression that the guys are then going to say ‘I’m not interested in bowling 25 overs in a day when I can bowl four overs and earn three times as much.’"
"Team India plays six Tests this year. Is that sufficient or are there other priorities? I don’t know."
"We do need to look at the economics, but if we are going to keep Test cricket going like we wanted to, we need to sort out the priorities of Test cricket and (whether it) stands above anything else (like) T20 cricket."
