There is much debate about the pros and cons of Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and the Indian Premier League (IPL) in particular, raising concerns on the fading interests in the relatively puritanical form of test cricket. In spite of ample availability of cricket data, there is ironically a dearth of serious academic research in this area. The present expert survey-based research reinforces the belief that test cricket forms the basis of cricket and that any future plan should not be devoid of test cricket in the Indian context. The study ascertains that T20I and tests are the two extreme formats with respect to ratings on skill, excitement and value for money using technique of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with One-Day Internationals (ODIs) assuming the mid position consistently. Hence, the study recommends the assessment of the influence of T20Is and IPL on test cricket and India’s performance in future. In the absence of any established framework, a meta-metric framework has been derived by using the expert survey by identifying the set of parameters for such formative assessments.

Abstract


There is much debate about the pros and cons of Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and the Indian Premier League (IPL) in particular, raising concerns on the fading interests in the relatively puritanical form of test cricket. In spite of ample availability of cricket data, there is ironically a dearth of serious academic research in this area. The present expert survey-based research reinforces the belief that test cricket forms the basis of cricket and that any future plan should not be devoid of test cricket in the Indian context. The study ascertains that T20I and tests are the two extreme formats with respect to ratings on skill, excitement and value for money using technique of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with One-Day Internationals (ODIs) assuming the mid position consistently. Hence, the study recommends the assessment of the influence of T20Is and IPL on test cricket and India’s performance in future. In the absence of any established framework, a meta-metric framework has been derived by using the expert survey by identifying the set of parameters for such formative assessments.
