This comes as South Africa prioritizes its T20 league over Test cricket, resulting in a weakened squad for the New Zealand tour.<br \/>\nWaugh expressed concern about the lack of financial incentives for players in Test cricket.<br \/>\n\u201cIf the ICC or someone doesn\u2019t step in shortly then Test cricket doesn\u2019t become Test cricket because you\u2019re not testing yourself against the best players. I understand why players don\u2019t come. They\u2019re not getting paid properly,\u201d Waugh said.<br \/>\nHe warned that without intervention, Test cricket might lose its essence as players opt for shorter formats.<br \/>\n\u201cI don\u2019t understand why ICC or the top countries, who are making a lot of money, don\u2019t just have a regulation set fee for Test matches which is a premium, so people are incentivised to play Test cricket.<br \/>\n\u201cOtherwise, they just play T10 or T20. The public are the ones who are going to suffers because it\u2019s not the full side playing, so it\u2019s not Test cricket,\u201d Waugh added.<br \/>\nWaugh also highlighted the trend of teams like Pakistan and the West Indies not sending full-strength squads for Test series, indicating a potential ongoing issue.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s pretty obvious what the problem is. The West Indies aren\u2019t sending their full-strength side (to Australia this summer).<br \/>\nThey haven\u2019t picked a full-strength Test team for a couple of years now.<br \/>\n\u201cSomeone like Nicholas Pooran is really a Test batsman who doesn\u2019t play Test cricket. Jason Holder, probably their best player, is not playing now. Even Pakistan didn\u2019t send a full side (to Australia),\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karachi Former Australian captain Steve Waugh criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC) and major cricket boards, including the BCCI, for neglecting Test cricket.
