England Cricket ka Naya Lakshya: Australia aur India ke khilaf Test Series par Focus
England Cricket Board (ECB) ke CEO Richard Gould ne ek bada bayan diya hai. Unhone saaf kar diya hai ki aane wale samay mein England ki team ke liye Australia aur India ke khilaf hone wali Test series hi sabse badi ‘Significant Priority’ (mukhya prathmikta) hongi.
Gould ka manna hai ki pichle kuch samay mein hui haar ke bavjood, team ka leadership group—Rob Key, Brendon McCullum aur Ben Stokes—sahi raste par hai. Unhone kaha ki pichli Ashes ke dauran sahi preparation na milne ki wajah se England piche reh gayi thi, aur ab woh is galti ko nahi dohrana chahte.
Long-term Planning par Zor
Gould ne kaha, “Hamein samajhna hoga ki hamari priorities kahan hain. Hum Ashes aur India ke khilaf Test series jeetne par focus kar rahe hain. Isliye, hamein in major events ke liye behtar long-term planning (dirghkalik yojana) aur preparation ki zaroorat hai.”
Gould ne ‘Big Three’ boards (England, Australia, India) se appeal ki hai ki woh Test cricket ka poora samman karein aur khiladiyon ko taiyari ke liye poora mauka dein. Unhone aane wali Ashes series ke liye abhi se planning shuru karne ki baat kahi hai taaki khiladiyon ko perform karne ka best platform mil sake.
Test Cricket ki Badhti Lokpriyata
Kya aapko pata hai? England mein Test cricket ka craze badh raha hai! Gould ne bataya ki pichle chaar saalon mein England mein Test cricket ki viewership (darshakon ki sankhya) mein lagbhag 25% ka izafa hua hai. Ashes ke dauran toh yeh aakda 45% tak chala gaya tha.
“Jab duniya bhar mein cricket ke naye formats aa rahe hain, tab Test cricket aur bhi mahatvapurn ho jata hai. Yahi woh format hai jahan aap apni asli kshamta (potential) sabit karte hain,” Gould ne zor dete hue kaha.
Aage ka Safar
England ki team abhi apne ghar par New Zealand aur Pakistan ke khilaf series khelegi. Iske baad South Africa, Bangladesh aur Australia ka daura hai. Gould ka spasht kehna hai ki yeh waqt sab kuch badalne ka nahi, balki purani galtiyon se seekh kar aage badhne ka hai. England ki nazar ab 2027 ki Ashes series par hai, jahan woh 12 saalon baad series jeetne ka sapna dekh rahe hain.
