Michael Holding Launches Fresh Attack on T20 Leagues

Legendary West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding has sharply criticised the growing dominance of T20 franchise leagues, warning they are undermining cricket’s traditional formats, especially Test cricket.

Holding argued that while boards publicly profess support for Test cricket, their decisions are overwhelmingly driven by short-term financial gains. He stressed that T20 success does not prepare players for the rigours of Test matches and has repeatedly stated that he does not consider T20 “real cricket.”
The iconic pacer highlighted the damage to resource-poor nations, as lucrative league contracts increasingly pull top talent away from national duties, eroding the depth and competitiveness of Test cricket.

With franchise tournaments expanding rapidly, Holding’s comments underscore the urgent need to protect the sport’s soul beyond commercial entertainment. #Cricket #ENGVIND

🚨 WARNING:If Gautam Gambhir continues as India’s coach for the next 2 years, he will SINGLE-HANDEDLY DESTROY Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and every promising young talent outside KKR.

His toxic favoritism is KILLING Indian cricket’s future. BCCI, wake up before it’s too late.

#ENGVIND

[Nibraz Ramzan @nibraz88cricket]

Still no Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in India’s Playing XI for the England T20I?

The 15-year-old has earned his shot with record-breaking knocks and pure destruction. Yet selectors keep him on the bench while chasing stability.

The prodigy who’s been unstoppable is still waiting. What a shame.

🚫 Gambhir out of team selection!
Pure KKR favouritism.
BCCI wake up.

🚨 India’s 2-0 whitewash by Ireland exposes serious white-ball frailties.

England’s seaming conditions and confident home side could lead to another whitewash as the series begins today.

Pressure is mounting..
