'ICC is an event management company' - Ian Chappell lashes out at world body over granting Test status to incompetent teams for vested interests

Ian Chappell criticized the ICC for granting Test status to unprepared teams like Afghanistan and Ireland. He also called for a two-tier system to improve Test cricket.

Ian Chappell, a former Australian cricket captain, has criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC) for what he perceives as mismanagement in granting Test status to teams he deems "incompetent." In an interview with Revsportz, Chappell accused the ICC of being more focused on event management rather than the development and integrity of cricket. He specifically pointed out that the inclusion of teams like Ireland and Afghanistan in Test cricket was driven by vested interests rather than merit, arguing that these teams are not yet ready for the format. Chappell also expressed concerns about the future of Test cricket, suggesting that the ICC's decisions are undermining the traditional format of the game. He called for the ICC to prioritize the quality and competitiveness of Test cricket over expanding the number of teams for financial or political reasons.
