Excited about playing in the inaugural World Test Championship, Indian captain Virat Kohli has said the competition in the traditional format has “gone up two-fold” in recent years. The inaugural edition will see the elite nations fight for top honours across 71 Test matches in 27 series over the next two years.

“The games are going to be much more competitive and it brings a lot of purpose to the Test matches you play. It’s the right move and at the absolute right time,” he said during the West Indies Players Association awards night on Monday. “People have been talking about Test cricket not being relevant, or dying. For me, the competition has gone up two-fold the last couple of years. It’s up to the players to take the challenge and go for victories,” he added.

The World Test Championship will end with the top two teams playing the final, scheduled to be held in June 2021 in the UK. On the Championship, Kohli went on, “That’s going to be the essence of this Test championship as well. There will hardly be any boring draws, there will be exciting draws, because everyone will want those extra points.”

Kohli, whose team are preparing to take on West Indies, whose bowlers too have come into their own in home conditions, agreed that there has been a revival of sorts in bowling, and it was now up to the batsmen to match up to it. “I don’t think us batsmen have lived up to the standard,” he said, stressing on the importance of the batting coming together as a team, rather than individuals doing well.
