Ravichandran Ashwin, a member of the Indian national cricket team, commented on the existence of specific venues for Test cricket. He said it helps the players and cited the examples of Australia and England, saying it is above his pay grade to comment on whether this should happen in India.

“Does it help a player to have only a few Test centres? Certainly, yes. Because when we go to Australia, they play India in only five Test centres. They don’t play us in Canberra. They don’t play.” us in any of the other places where they won’t be very familiar with the conditions, and also England.”

“They have select Test centers and that’s where they play. Some of them are just white-ball centers. Can we do it here (in India)? That’s above my pay grade. I can’t comment on that.”
