International Regular
By eroding the amount of Tests that are played in certain series and by certain countries. By reducing the amount of warm-up games and preparation that sides are able to play on Test tours. By the fact that players are rested for some Tests because of 'workload'. By reducing the ability of particularly batsmen (in my opinion). By ensuring players play little, if any long-form first class cricket - thus also eroding the competitions and their ability to produce good Test talent. I could go on with more time.
Covid aside there is most test cricket being played than ever before.
With you on warm ups, but that’s not test cricket is it?
No problem with testing some players from time to time who need it, it’s frustrating but happens. It’s also hard to say how much of this is specific to covid and bubbles.
Don’t see that last part as an issue.
