LONDON, July 20: England great Geoff Boycott urged the sport’s administrators to urgently address a worrying crisis in attendances which he believes could lead to the end of Test cricket.

The ex-England opener claims the falling number of spectators for highest level of the game in every country except England could bring about demise of the game in its current format.

Boycott called on the game’s rulers to act now to ensure crowds come back to Test cricket.

“With the exception of England, Test match crowds are falling everywhere. Why?” he questioned.

“Even in Asia, attendances are down. India used to sell out for every game but now even India against Pakistan doesn’t bring full houses.” he added.—Agencies
