Former Sri Lanka cricket captain Mahela Jayawardene expressed his displeasure over the conduct of series that involve just two Tests.

In his exclusive column in Sportstar, Jayawardene wrote: “Personally, I think two-match series should be immediately banned.”

Jayawardene mentioned that Asian teams “are playing at least 2-3 Test matches less than they should be playing each year.

“Not even India have played more than 10 Tests per annum regularly during the past five years — they have played 48, Sri Lanka 47, Pakistan 41 and Bangladesh 25. I think we should be targeting at least 12 Tests per annum (six at home and six away),” he wrote.
