White Ball Or Test Team, Both Need Killer Punch For Success In World Cricket
World Test Championship: As modern-day cricket becomes more technical, shorter and faster, horses for courses has emerged as a major fundamental doctrine.
Many countries have started following this principle and are nowadays picking different teams for different formats of the game -- the red-ball and white-ball cricket with a few players common in both squads.
For example, Ben Stokes is the England captain in red-ball or Test cricket while Jos Buttler leads the teams in Limited-overs formats. He led the England squad in the 50-overs World Cup in India in 2023 while Moin Ali was the captain of the England T20 squad from 2020 to 2023. Australia won the 50-overs World Cup with Pat Cummins leading the side, who incidentally also captained the side when it defeated India in the final of the World Test Championship in England.
